I certainly did something to cause this, but now, I have a help balloon
appearing under the three Options that come up when I choose Turn Off
Computer in the Start Menu (XP, SP3).

They explain each of them.

No big deal, but I do not really need those explanations :-).

How do I get rid of them? Must be simple, but where ?

Thanks

Do you mean that they stay there all the time, or just appear when you
mouse-over the buttons?
Are they still there after shutting down and restarting?

This issue has not raised a lot of interest but for those who might be
curious:

TweakUi, part of PowerTools, does have a settings for this (Taskbar,
Enable Balloon Tips) and it was not checked when I discovered the
problem. Which lead me to post the issue here.

Being frustrated at not finding any other setting to modify, I decided
to check this setting, apply it, and then uncheck it. This is a real old
trick, but it worked. Should have tried it before, but sometimes, one
overlooks the obvious and simplest.

Thanks for the info. I saw you post after I had found the (rather, a)
solution on my own. The balloons were there only when mousing over. I
have no idea why they decided to appear, when I had worked on my machine
and changed a few things, so ...

Grateful for your reference, I'll keep in case I face the same issue
some other time.

Regards
