I can not find out how to turn off the Help Balloons in
XP. When I go to the Help and Support Center, I find
that I should go to the "Help Menu" and click Balloons
Off. I can't locate the menu they are talking about or I
don't understand the answer.

Thanks
 
Open up the Registry Editor and expand the tree to display the following
key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Explorer \ Advanced
Then, create a new DWORD value named EnableBalloonTips and set it to 0.
 
I get rid of them by going to control panel, folder options. view scroll
down to near bottom and uncheck show pop up desc.
