Pop-up balloons in XP.

I tried to turn off those annoying little balloon pop-ups everywhere in
XP, but even after unselecting the "show pop-up description for folder and
desktop" in folder options, I still get the pop-ups. Is there something
else I'm suppose to do to get rid of them?

Read about kb307729 as you suggested. Went to regedit,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
Created a REG_DWORD namedEnableBalloonTips, set value to 0, closed &
rebooted. No change. Went back in and set value to 1. No change.
Still stumped.

PaulM, tried your download; and Doug Knox's, Kelly Theriot's &
Tweak UI's tweaks to disable balloon tips. None worked. Would AVG,
WinPatrol or other running programs have any effect?
 
What the hell are you talking about. You better look and that script again!
It not from Kelly site.
