1.Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.

 

2.Navigate to the following

subkey:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

 

3.Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it

EnableBalloonTips.

 

4.Double-click this new entry, and then give it a hexadecimal value of 0.

 

5.Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log back on.

Here are three methods of disabling balloon tips. Take your pick.

 

1. Download and install TweakUI from Microsoft. TweakUI is

available here.

 

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.

In TweakUI, click on Taskbar and Start Menu.

In the right hand pane, remove the check mark from the box next

to "Enable balloon tips".

Click OK.

 

2. Follow the directions in this Microsoft article.
