taskbar flashing

Any ideas for how to disable visual alerts? Any time a program has updated screens
since I last used it, Explorer flags its icon in the taskbar with the hightlight
color, and usually un-auto-hides it. This is particularly annoying with AOL Instant
Messenger, as any time an IM comes in, the hidden taskbar pops up (and stays on top)
and the IM window button flashes until it is clicked on.

I was looking through the preferences and didn't find anything in there.
But, what is available is TweakUI for all Windows OSes back to Win95. Just fire
up google and search for TweakUI. You should find it in a dozen places. in there,
there should be an option to disable focus on windows.
Another option would be to use something like Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc) or
gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net) that gives you more options than aim does. Plus
they support all chat mediums, and look cooler. :)
hope this helps!
