After installing XP, the OS will prompt you to enter a .NET Passport account to enable access
to certain Internet communication features.
To turn off this reminder, perform the following steps:
- Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
- Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService registry subkey.
- If the PassportBalloon registry value doesn’t already exist, go to the Edit menu;
select New, Binary Value; enter a name of PassportBalloon; then press Enter.
- Double-click the PassportBalloon value, set it to 0A 00 00 00, then click OK.
- Close the registry editor.
