How can I get rid of the XP balloons? Tired of them
popping up all over the place when I click on something.
Sometimes what I'm trying to click on is obscured by the
goofy things. Sure they might be helpful to some, but to
me they are just annoying.

Thanks Ramesh ! That's a great little website with lots of
tips and tweaks. I've bookmarked it for future help, too.

According to the description for that policy, it "includes 'Click here to
begin' on the start button". It doesn't work (at least in the classic
shell).
 
Welcome. Thanks to Kelly Theriot (MVP)
