Hardware
I did something a while ago that stopped the confirmation dialogue or message windows.
For example, when I select the Remove Hardware, I do not get a message telling me if it is Ok or not.
Darned if I can recall how I managed to get into this fix but how do i get back to "normal"?

Check this Registry setting to see if it hasn't been disabled.

Setting for Value Data: [0 = Balloon Tips Disabled / 1 = Balloon Tips Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot or log off and then log back on.

No, the simple things i can normally work out.
Those deeply buried little b..s can get me hot under the collar.
btw, I am a Perth W.A. bod, came over this end several years ago and never had the chance to get back. Still, climate here in southern Spain is close. My son also came over, he lives in the U.K.

The first one. The registry entry.
I am still trying to find how I managed to change that in the first place.
I must remember "do not fiddle"!
