share [g+] share [fb]

Every time I click Network, I get a message in a pale yellow drop-down box that says,

Network discovery and file sharing are turned off.  Network computers and devices are not visible.  Click to change...

message

I know that these things are turned off, because I turned them off myself.

How can I make this useless message stop appearing?

Edit: I have already turned off network discovery and file sharing. That's not the problem. I want to turn off the useless message, while leaving network discovery and file sharing turned off.

Why do you even click Network, if you have network discovery and file sharing disabled? Am I missing something here? – djeidot Dec 22 '09 at 15:27
Network should include things that I have explicitly added or connected to, such as Novell Connections, the tree, and so on. – eleven81 Dec 22 '09 at 15:29
+1 for screenshot with excellent Paint modification :) – trolle3000 Feb 10 '10 at 17:08

Have you tried switching them from off to on and then back?

I think it is turned off by default, but Windows will probably keep reminding you to choose between on or off yourself.

Now I see, I thought the settings said: turn the settings off, as in changing the default off to really off. – Ivo Flipse♦ Dec 22 '09 at 13:02
