I have installed Windows ME and at random I get the below message poping up:
"Discover your digital world with Microsoft(R)Win (R)ME edition. Take a short video journey thru this amazing new world now

Play video now Remind me later"

I want to disable this message from poping up.

If this is the screen that has colored boxes that come together[blue,red, green,yellow?] and starts when ME starts, there should be a check box [I think] in the lower left corner that says something like "check this box if you wish to see this all the time" ..uncheck the box.

That's the only screen I remember that comes up on Windows ME when you install it that is a vid short. [quess I'll have to uninstall ME from one of the laptops and then reinstall it to see if I can recreate what you see].

Go ahead and click on Play Video Now, then Exit. Then on your next boot, you should see the checkbox so show again. Uncheck it.

When you click on Remind me later, the box gets checked again, so you need to go through a "play" the very first time.
