    Help get rif of Pesty "Balloon"

    Hi all,
    Just one simple question - Can I completely disable the annoying pop message (Viewable on the Taskbar whenever you have too much Icons, Swap or connecting a new Hardware).

    Thank you,
    Gabriel

    Nope, you got me wrong...
    I hate that Windows XP "announce that I have low Virtual Memory (consider the fact i have 512Mb of RAM and a 512Mb page file) and its bugging me.
    Consider That Every now and than there is this "Desktop Cleanup wizard" (Annoying!!!!!).
    I want to copletly disable those Pop balloons - Let windows write its Blah Blah into event log.


    Hope it helped clarify my request,
    Gabriel

    A surprising number of folks love the sugary new Windows XP interface, with it's colorful windows and menus. One of these features that's new to XP is the pop-up balloons to let you know that a tour, or hotfix, or network connection (etc.) is available. If you find these simply annoying, you can add the following Registry entry to kill them off for good.

    Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Advanced
    Name: EnableBalloonTips
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0
