Disabling Windows XP Balloon PopUps |
|
While merrily working away on your Windows
XP desktop, you might have noticed that every now and then you get pulled away
from your work by a balloon tip popping up from the notification area of the
taskbar (the space on the right-hand side where the System Tray is). After one
too many notifications interrupted my concentration, I figured out how to turn
those balloon pop-ups off. Here's how:
1. Launch regedit.
2. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
3. Create a REG_DWORD named EnableBalloonTips.
4. Set the value data to 0.
5. Close regedit.
6. Reboot the computer.
Setting the value to 1 will turn the balloon tips back on if you decide you can't live without them
