I once knew how to eliminate the annoying balloons that pop up all over the
place just after booting and then during the day as one works. However, I
have forgotten. Can anyone help, please?

TIA

Ed
 
Thanks for the input but I can assure it has nothing to do with viruses.
These balloons are informative and set in place by XP. They are also a
b..... nuisance.

Thanks, Mac.

Exactly what I was looking for. Believe it or not, I just went to "Help and
Support" and punched in balloons and got the whole lowdown at MS Support.
The answer was, of course the same. I'll be careful to try a few things next
time before rushing to post in the newsgroup.

Thanks again.

Ed,

* click Start > Run > type REGEDIT > ENTER
* navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
* right-click the right pane, select new > DWORD value > name it
EnableBalloonTips
* double click EnableBalloonTips > give it a value of 0

Disable: 0
Enable: 1

Tip:
'Export' two keys to your Drive, one with the balloons enabled and one
disabled. Then you can easily go back and forth when needed.
