How can I disable startup warning ballons in XP

[tesco]

For those 3 ballooon popups all you had to do was go into security center, click 'change the way security center alerts me' (on the left), then uncheck all the boxes.

Better yet to disable security center altogether go to start->run->'services.msc'->disable seccurity cnter service

I did try that a few times, but I was unable to disable it, I can turn various items off but not the whole thing and a balloon comes up each time I reboot.

But based on what you say I will try again.

it shouldn't give you any shit

start > run > type "services.msc" (no quotes)
scroll down to Security Center, double click, hit stop, wait for it to stop, then disable it

-edit- oops, rossco already posted that

-edit again- it may give you shit if ICS is running, it may not
not sure, I always have that disabled, like, right after a windows install
if you use the windows firewall, you can't disable ICS
