      Windows XP Tip Ever wanted to be rid of those annoying notification
balloons in Windows XP. Well here is a handy trick of turning them off. To
Disable The Notification Area Balloon Tips Warning If you use Registry
Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to
reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can
solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use
Registry Editor at your own risk. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and
then press ENTER. Navigate to the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it
EnableBalloonTips. Double-click this new entry, and then give it a
hexadecimal value of 0. Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log
back on. These steps disable all Notification Area balloon tips for this
user. There is no way to disable balloon tips for specific programs only.
