Running Win2k w/sp3; when you move a start menu shortcut by drag and drop with administartor rights a warning dialog box comes up stating that it will affect all users. How do you get rid of that annoying box?
Turn off messanger service (not quite sure the exact name in 2k, but it provides those kind of system messages). No, not the IM messanger stuff, either.

That sounds too drastic. It would be the same if file protecrion was turned off to edit NTOSKRNL.EXE to replace the bitmap for the splash screen.

Nope.....don't give up that easy. There has to be a reg hack somewhere.
System messages are an all or nothing thing, when something happens that need one the messenger service handles it.

There must be some way to disable just that message.
