How is the "Events" turned off?

[Plot a Lot]

On Jon Sullivans site it says alt +Events will turn off the Events. I have never successfully turne them off. I tried alt +E, and that didn't work. I tried alt + Events, and that didn't work. Does anybody know how to turn off the events. They have a nasty way of popping off just when have reached a milestone of somekind. Say wining a battle, a long awaited tech or somesuch that turns the pleasure of the success into aggravation. A punishment instead of a reward - and I want it to stop!!! Can anybody help?

All help appreciated.
