In the left hand column click on "Taskbar and Start Menu".
That should result in a Setting box being displayed in the
right hand pane.
Remove the check mark from the box next to "Enable balloon
tips".
Click OK.
It will look something like this:

Good luck

Thanks Pete - I now have it! On a quick glance (it's
late!) I don't see any mention of the balloon windows?

PowerToys is actually shown on the Programme menu but the
only item on the sub menu is the 'Read Me' file - nothing
else.
Terry...Mine just says Tweakui. Did you check add/remove
programs in control panel to see if tweak is in there (if
it is delete it). Did you search Tweak and see if you have
the download executable I mentioned below. If you have it,
delete it and redownload it again, and try again as I
mentioned below. Can't think of anything else. If you
search "tweak" windows should tell you where at least
"some" of it is. Tweakui.exe resides in
c:\windows\system32...Pete

Hmmmm ...
Yes, I did re-start.
When I downloaded TweakUI it asked whether I wanted to
install it and the wizard took me through this. When I
couldn't find it I tried to download again only to be
told that it was already installed. I didn't note where
the file was being stored. Now using 'run' doesn't
locate the .exe file and neither does a search of all
files. Not sure I can be bothered, annoying as these
things are!! Thanks anyway!
Terry...don't give up, its simple. Tweak is neat. If
its already installed it should be listed in
start/programs as "power toys for windows xp". If it's
not then you need to reinstall it. The download is
called "tweakuipowertoysetup.exe". Just search "Tweak"
to see if you have it, if not re-download it and save it
someplace (my documents or wherever). Then double click
it. There's nothing to it. Try again - don't give up -
only give up on the hard stuff. It will get rid of those
damn balloon tips, without you having to mess with the
registry, plus it has some other neat stuff
also. I got rid of the damn things once, and then put
them back for other reasons (i.e., they may be useful -
lol), and have learned to live with them :-):-) ...Pete
