== BALLOON TIPS IN NOTIFICATION AREA ANNOYING STUPID MESSAGES ==The problem with balloon tips is they are often messages of little or no relevance most notably on a fresh install of Windows XP when the user is being badgered to "take a tour."  Furthermore, users of VNC know that balloon tips on a remote host are not displayed to the VNC viewer.# Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.# Navigate to the following subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced# Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips.# Double-click this new entry, and then give it a hexadecimal value of 0.# Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log back on.
