How to Disable QuickBooks Reminders

The regular interruption from QuickBooks reminders can be more of an annoyance than a benefit. Reminder notices display when you open a QuickBooks file, and at regular intervals for specific tasks. If you are confident in following up on accounting tasks independent of QuickBooks reminders, you do not have to spend your productive time clearing and closing reminder messages. Disabling the reminder option can save you time.

Instructions

1. Click "File" > "Open or Restore Company" to access the company QuickBooks file.

2. Click "Open a company file" from the menu and click "Next."

3. Identify the QuickBooks file name from your computer's hard drive and click "Open."

4. Click "Edit" > "Preferences."

5. Click the "Reminders" icon from the left side of the Preferences window.

6. Un-check the box next to "Show Reminders List when opening a Company file." The selection is located under the "My Preferences" menu tab.

7. Click the "Company Preferences" for a list of available company reminders.

8. Click the "Don't Remind Me" radio button next to each reminder type.

9. Click "OK" to save your changes.
