Had this laptop five months and the balloon tips have been driving me mad. At last a solution.....

to get rid of tips. Some had larger values.
enableballoontips did nothing, this old xphome had several
keys ending in tips, that were zeroed out and this had the desired effect of getting rid of a balloon every time one moused through a menu or explorer file list. Could not see behind it.
These were in reg keys current user sofware micrsoft windows explorer advanced ending in tips.
Much different than in xp pro.xppro had a tweakUI that would take care of some balloons. This old XP Home SP2 doesnt have that in tweakUI.
Backup previous key branches by exporting that key before changing.
Export, and give it an appropriate file name.
Clicking the reg file will bring back the old values as will sys restore.
System restore may only be useful if its enabled.
There are numerous places in registry under other programs that
have keys ending in 'tips', this is what controls various balloons.
Note: The word balloons only appears in some of these keys.
The word tips appears in all of them.
