Re: {ERG} ~ A Tip A Day ~

Pop the Balloon Tips
To make your computer easier to use, Windows XP often displays balloon tips,
which are advice and hints that pop up for a few seconds, and then disappear. If you prefer not to use balloon tips, you can burst their bubble by disabling them:
1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.
2. Click Run.
3. A window appears. Type regedit in the blank, and then click the OK
button or press Enter.
4. The Windows Registry Editor will open. In the left window pane,
double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key. If you can’t find it, do the following:
a. In the left window pane of the Registry Editor, scroll to the top.
b. If any of the HKEY registry keys are open — as indicated by a
minus sign (-) on their left side — then close them by clicking
that minus sign. When a registry key has been properly closed, it
will have a plus sign (+) next to it.
c. Repeat this process for the remaining HKEY registry keys until
the only things visible in the left window pane are the five
HKEY keys.
d. Double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key.
5. A new column of registry keys appears. Double-click Software.
6. A long column of registry keys appears. Scroll down until you find
Microsoft, and then double-click it.
7. Another long list of registry keys appears. Scroll down and double-
click Windows.
8. Double-click the CurrentVersion registry key.
9. Double-click the Explorer registry key.
10. Click the Advanced registry key.
11. Click the Edit drop-down menu located in the upper-left corner of the
Windows Registry Editor.
12. Select New.
13. Select DWORD Value.
14. In the right window pane, a new registry value appears. Rename it
EnableBalloonTips .
15. After renaming the value, double-click it to open it.
16. Under the Value Data heading, make sure there is a 0.
17. Click the OK button.
18. Exit the Registry Editor by clicking the X button in the upper-right
corner.
19. If you change your mind and want to allow the balloon tips to appear,
all you have to do is repeat these steps to locate the
EnableBalloonTips registry key. Open it, delete the 0, and type 1 in its place.
