new program installed bubble

hi i have a hp laptop with xp and everytime i scroll over all programs it says new programs installed even though i have not installed anything ney. the ones highlighted have been there for a while

 

I have long sense disabled this:
Do Not Highlight Newly Installed Programs
1. Click Start, right-click at the top of the Start menu where your name is
displayed, and then click Properties.
2. In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, on the Start Menu tab, click
Customize.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then clear the Highlight newly installed programs
check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK again.

I believe the popup will continue until you've actually opened the program via the shortcut in the startup menu but I always found this a nusiance anyway and, as stated, have opted to turn this feature off.

 

thank you

thank you i did not care for the feature but was not sure how to disable it thanks

 

Your most welcome.
