How do I stop those annoying yellow balloons

Re: How do I stop those annoying yellow balloons

 

They are called Pop Up description when you move the pointer over a folder

or desktop items.

Is this what you are talking about?

If so go here line 23, its in the Vista tweaks, but works in XP.

Paul,

They are similiar to those, but they show up on EVERY object or button. I

emailed a screen capture to Microsoft and they said it was by design, in

response to "tags" set by the programmers. I'd be happy to email you the

screen capture, I don't know how to upload a picture to here.
