Every one in a while, I get a notification asking me if I want to remove unused icons from the Windows XP desktop.

How can I turn off this notification forever?

Pretty simple, just head over to the Display Properties -> Desktop -> Customize Desktop option and remove the checkbox.

I've written up a guide on how to do it: Stop the Annoying "There are unused icons on your desktop" Popup Balloon
