In the task bar a balloon with "MTP device has been found" is coming. How to stop this?

Start --> Right Click
Select Properties --> Select Properties
Select Taskbar --> Click Customise box
Click "Show hardware devices" (Some times you may see 'No title'. Select that)
Select "hide when inactive" (on the right)
Change it to "always hide"

This will allow you to use 'Add New Hardware' in Control Panel.

My taskbar says a "MTP device has been found". What is this?

Devices like Mobile Phones & Portable Audio/video Players (with USB connectivity) are called MTP devices.

Did you connect 'Mobile Phone' or any 'Portable Audio/Video Player" in your USB Port?
If yes, you will get this balloon in Windows Task Bar.

Both Microsoft and Mac have PTP as inbuilt. Linux & open source has many supporting libraries.
