Get Rid of Annoying Balloon Notification
Back to Windows XP
How to turn off all system tray balloon popups by editing the registry. Open your favourite registry editor
- In the
left pane, navigate to:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. - Right click an empty space in the right pane and select New, then select DWORD value
- Right click the new entry and select Rename. Give it the name EnableBalloonTips
- Double click the entry and in the Value Data field, give it a hexadecimal value of 0
- Close the registry editor
You'll need to log off and log back on before the change takes effect, and the balloons will be disabled only for the current user. If you log onto the computer with a different user account, the balloons will still appear.
