Is there anyway to disable that screen that pops up when you switch the wireless switch on/off?

I hate things that tell me the obvious. "Hello, you have just pressed the wireless toggle switch. Have a nice day."

Locate the file pmev2_1.exe (c:\program files\lenovo\pkgmgr\hotkey) and rename or delete it, i'm sure there is a more elegant solution but i've never bothered to look for it

Works awesome, thanks.

Hmm... just realized that this also disables the whole Fn-F5 window... anyone know how to just get rid of the notification?

what exactly did you do? delete the file or rename it? i simply renamed it and the Fn+F5 window still works.

Thanks! Renaming worked great. That rules.

I renamed it to pmev2_1.exe_backup. The problem is, even after returning it to the original name, it still didnt work.

Are you hiding the file extension tag? Like when you look at a file do you see xxxx.doc xxxxx.jpg xxxxx.exe or do you just see names?

(This doesn't apply to shortcuts or folders)

If you don't see the file extension then you can't change it to something that it won't recognize or change it back to something it will recognize unless you know what these do.

Go to (in any open folder window) tools>folder options>view>UNcheck "hide file extensions for known file types"

apply and then find that file and see if it says exactly

pmev2_1.exe

or if you've named it (easily by accident)

pmev2_1.exe.exe

this can happen if you aren't showing the extensions. Because now the executable's name is

"pmev2_1.exe"

instead of

"pmev2_1"

which is what it's looking for. So change it to (showing extensions) pmev2_1.exe and you're in business unless you've nuked something else.

proFeign,
One of the first things I do with a Windows system is unhide extentions. As a *Nix user, I am used to creating backups with things like _backup on the end, so that is just habitual to me.

Sorry if I was insulting or something; I dunno.

Is something else potentially wrong? I mean, if it's named back to what it was unless the process that calls it is now not operational I don't know what to tell ya. Sorry for the extended and pointless explanation
