You can press F5 to refresh the tree view.
When you click ‘Refresh’ with pressed Shift or Control key, the refresh will happen in 5 seconds. So you have time to setup your windows.

Make a right click onto a message in the ‘Messages’ tab and select ‘Disable this Message’ to prevent further display.
In the ‘Options’ tab, you can enable/disable each single message or message groups.
