Answer                                                            Use a Windows 7 Basic theme.  Alternatively, you can modify the registry to increase the delay before they show up.  With a sufficient delay (of many minutes or even hours), you'll never see them.

The time you set is in milliseconds, so 1000 would be 1 second.  3600000 would be one hour.
