Taskbar Icon Blinker

[jonhall00]

Hello,
I had a very important question. Lets say (as an example)I am on Yahoo
Messenger and I leave a conversation idle and the person is still talking to
me, the window blinks when it is minimized in the Taskbar...how do I turn off
the setting that makes the conversation to blink because I do not want that
anymore.
Thank you so much!

"Had"? How about "have" (as in THIS thread)?

Nope, when minimalized there is no window. They may be a button in the
Windows taskbar. The taskbar button is what blinks.

Rather than hunt down the registry setting, just get the TweakUI
powertoy for Windows XP. Then go to the following node to configure the
blinking behavior:

General -> Focus
