How do I stop all desktop notifications?

Meaning if I start a new file from Windows Explorer by double-clicking or from within MusicBee, I do not want to see any desktop notifications what so ever.

If you mean the little window that shows you each track that starts playing, Edit > Edit Preferences > Now Playing and uncheck Show Popup in the Playback options.

Yes I already did that and that works fine when I start a new song from within MusicBee.

However that setting does not prevent the to me annoying popup that appears when I start a new song from a Windows Explorer folder.

How do I get rid of that?

With that option unchecked, mine doesn't show any popups when I play a file from Windows Explorer.
If yours does (and you're running the latest version) you might have post a bug report.

Damn I am sorry, I worded it wrong.

I do actually not get a "regular" pop-up notification, what I meant is that when I click a new song from Windows Explorer, then in my Window taskbar, that in my case is hidden, becomes visible and the MusicBee icon in Taskbar flashes, and that is what I consider annoying.

So the problem is if MusicBee's developer can add a preferences setting or it is a Windows OS thing.
