How to Disable Notification Balloons in XP
If you are annoyed with Windows popping up a balloon notification telling you things you already know every time you turn on your machine, here is a quick tip on completely disabling them.
Click on Start-–> Run and type in regedit
Now we will navigate to this path in your registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
On the right pane right click on an open area and choose New \ DWORD Value
You will see New Value #1. Change this to EnableBalloonTips.
Next double click the new registry entry you created. In the Value Data field set it to 0 (zero). Make sure Hexadecimal is selected under Base. Click OK.
Finally restart your system and enjoy the clean boot up with no balloons popping up at you.
