11/28/2007 -- You can prevent the Microsoft Passport reminder from popping up on your desktop by modifying the registry. Here's the procedure:

1. Click on Start, Run and type regedit.exe to start the registry editor.
2. Go to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService
3. In the right-hand pane, double-click PassportBalloon.
4. Set the value under Value data to 0A to stop the reminders from popping up.

If the messages still continue to pop up, try rebooting your computer.
