Taskbar pop-up balloons

[Monte]

I am very disturbed by the pop-up balloons (with messages)
that keep appearing from the task bar icons.

How do I shut them off, permanently?

Hi Monte,

A fix/workaround has not been found for that as of yet. The only tips that
can be removed at this time are included in this edit:

Disable Balloon Tips or Disable All (Row 11)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Disable All includes: Balloon Tips, Folder Contents Info Tips, Explorer
Pop-Ups, Show Info Tips, Start Menu and Notification Area.

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
