win8 Notifications

[MikeFu84]

I am sure I am being dumb and over looking the obvious but I want to disable notifications for applications like Metro Messenger. I have some of my accounts linked but I prefer the desktop version of the applications more but I find myself getting the metro notifications 2-3 minutes after I get the message in the desktop applications.

Have you tried Win + W, typing "notifications" and opening the Notifications control panel?

No but like I said, I was probably being stupid and over looking the obvious simple answer.

In the charms bar > settings of each app I believe is a toggle to allow or disable notifications

You'll want the global Notification setting in 'Change PC Settings', not the one in the app.

Thanks for the replies. I will try the suggestions once I get home.

You can change it within the app too. Settings charm > Permissions. Consistent for all apps with notifications.

Perfect. Thanks for the info. It's been working great.
