Computer Registry Checks
Windows XP tries so hard to be helpful that balloon tips leap on the screen all the time. Rather like the exuberant help of a five year old, balloon tips can become really irritating after a while. You can tweak the registry to remove balloon tips. By the way, if the following information doesn't make sense to you, you're probably better using a PC error checker to maintain your registry instead of making registry changes. One registry mistake can seriously damage your computer.
Open windows regedit, and make a backup copy of the registry (just in case). Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. Click the Edit menu, select Add, and click DWORD value. Name the new DWORD ‘EnableBalloonTips' (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0. You just shut off the balloon tips.
