You'll get more and better responses if you post this in the OS section of the forums.

To turn off balloon tips in applications that support XP Themes:

1. Start Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Create a DWORD value of EnableBalloonTips
4. Give it a value of 0

According to MS that should do it.

HOW TO: Disable Notification Area Balloon Tips in Windows XP

The MS KB does say that you need to logout/login for it to take effect.

Or TweakUI will do it if you're not comfortable editing the registry.

With the amount of stupid posts on this board, I don't trust many here to manually edit the registry. So it's just asking for trouble by recommending to do it.

Sweet! After adding that registry key, IBM Access Connections doesn't harass me while it's changing connection profiles anymore 🙂
