I know there is a registry change that will stop most of those annoying
bubble tips. Would someone please share it with me. I have xp home.

TIA

I found this at windows.about.co

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USE
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advance
Name: EnableBalloonTip
Data Type: REG_DWOR
Value:

If you later decide that you want the balloons back, you can delete the entry, or set its value to 1. As always, please use caution and frequent backups when editing the Registry

If you don't want to edit the registry, get Tweakui powertoy for Windows XP.
Under the "Taskbar and Start menu" node in the tree, you can enable/disable
balloon tips. This changes the same registry data value that the KB article
mentions.

Thanks
