Guest Tom Pamin Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 When I shutdown my PC, a balloon popup now appears telling me what each option means (Turn off, Restart, StandBy). This didn't appear before. How do I disable these balloons?

Take a look at the first few sites listed in this Google search. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=disable+balloon+tips&spell=1 Keep in mind that you may have to log off and back on for the change to take place. You can also disable Balloon Tips through TweakUI from Microsoft. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Direct Download of TweakUI http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe Once the program is installed, go to Start -> All Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP -> TweakUI. Click on Taskbar and Start menu in the right hand column. Remove the check mark from the box next to Enable balloon tips. Click OK. Good luck Nepatsfan
