NoteHKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetCache
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | (Not in registry) | 0 | 1 | (Not in registry) |
Determines whether reminder balloons are displayed, and prevents users from changing the setting.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable reminder balloons Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Disable reminder balloons policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Not in registry) | The policy is not configured. Reminder balloons are displayed, but users can hide them. |
| 0 | The policy is disabled. Reminder balloons are displayed, and users cannot hide them. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. Reminder balloons are hidden, and users cannot display them. |
When this value appears in the registry, the system disables the Enable reminders option on the Offline Files tab to prevent users from changing the setting while a policy is in effect.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable reminder balloons policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files).
To disable reminder balloons without setting policy, use Windows Explorer. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then deselect the Enable reminders check box.
Note
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. When this entry appears in the registry, the system disables the Enable reminders option on the Offline Files tab and ignores the value of NoReminders in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache, which stores the option setting. If the Offline Files tab does not operate as expected, check to see if this entry is in the registry.
This entry can appear in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If this entry appears in both subtrees, the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE takes precedence over the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Tip
To disable reminder balloons without setting a policy, use Windows Explorer. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the Offline Files tab, and then clear the Enable reminders check box.
