Disable Balloon Tips in the Notification area

Balloon Tips are nothing but pop-up notifications of certain events. Some examples are the "Network cable Unplugged", SP2's Security Center Firewall or anti-virus alert messages etc.

You can disable these balloon notifications using these steps:


1. Click Start, Run and type regedit
2. Navigate to the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced
3. In the right pane, create a DWORD value named EnableBalloonTips
4. Double-click the new entry, and give it a value of 0.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
6. Log off Windows, and then log back on for the changes to take effect.
