| 111043 | 2003-01-04 17:25:00 | Hi, I read somewhere that it is possible to get rid of the annoying information dialogues that appear in Windows XP eg: the one that pops up to tell you that you have successfully connected to teh internet and what the connection speed is - it is like a speech bubble that hangs around the connection icon in the menu bar. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting rid of this? I saw the info in a magazine recently but can't for the life of me find it again Thanks for your help! Sean |

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Advanced Name: EnableBalloonTips Data Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0 If you later decide that you want the balloons back, you can delete the entry, or set its value to 1. As always, please use caution and frequent backups when editing the Registry. |
