Disabling text balloons from system tray, and enabling them later

[Guest Michel]

Hi all,

 

At the moment I'm working on my new system. And there are a quite a few

things I need to set before I'm happy with it. One of the things I hate is

how XP handles ' and ". At the moment I need to follow it by pressing the

space bar before the quote or double quote appears. But that´s not the

question of this post.

 

I´m wondering how I can disable the text balloons that pop up from the

system tray? I dislike messages instructing me to press here to view/hide

icons, and the like.

 

At the same time, in the future I would like to develop a program that uses

pop ups from the system tray. I gather that the program will not work when

I've disabled the text balloons? So what do I need to do to enable them?

(when different from what you need to do to disable them).

 

TIA,

Michel

Try Kelly's Tweak:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Line 11. Enable/Disable Balloon Tips

 

To use the VBS Files: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you

may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double

click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

Butting in...

 

Would that also disable the hover over tips, or just the irritating 'just in

case you didn't know your hard drive is working flat out trying to reconnect

you we'll waste even more processor on this stupid message too', messages?

 

I'd like to turn off the silly ones, but not the hover overs.

Looks like another useful Kelly gizmo just the same.

Its suppose to disable the ones you call silly, this key:

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableBalloonTips"

Running the script the second time will undo the changes. (Enable /Disable)
