Windows XP balloon tips

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

Argh! These things were driving me nuts so I went looking for a cure and found how to eliminate the buggers.

 

 

Involves registry editing. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced", create DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with Hex value of 0 and restart your computer.

 

 

Works like a charm.

There's heaps of great tools and advice for things scattered around the net. One of my favourites for many years is www.analogx.com. Probably one of the most prolific software authors around. No spyware or trojans. Just really good software that works.
