yellow menu boxes please help

[Frank]

I have tried line 11 of Kelly's reg tweaks and double
checked they went in and they did, but these yellow menu
pop-ups still come up on my toolbars, quick launch and
taskbar...I just recently did a clean instal and tried
again and to no avail. The tweak for the startbutton
didn't work either...I am the admin, my comp saves my
settings and I am out of ideas...Please help Thanks in
advance

[anonymous]

only other suggestion is visit this site:
search for = remove disable delete tooltips
and surf around the results.

First off, THANK YOU ALL for everything...I have already
done all of the DWORD values, including infotip,
ballontips, startbutton, etc etc and they only work for
my desktop and folders, but not for my desktop when it is
put into a tool bar or an url in a toolbar...It has to be
some weird thing BURRIED in the reg.

Thanks again, I am going to search Google now

Happy Thanksgiving

Frank;
If it'll make you feel any better, you aren't alone. I did a clean install,
have all the known Registry settings set to NOT show the !@#$!#$ Balloon Tips.
I did a Repair Install and rechecked the settings. I've still got the damn
things. None of my Balloon Tips have ever been disabled since I first installed
XP Home in August.
My favorite is for the Start button, "Click here to begin." No kidding!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!!

neat trick....change font size to very small size.
of course the day/date changes with size.
display > appearancetab > advanced button > item=tooltips.
be sure and save as 'theme' in theme tab box.

Item:
ToolTip
Color1: White
Font: Small Fonts
Size: 2
Color: White
Of course, I did like the day/date balloon feature. Oh well.

GREAT IDEA...Only problem is, the smallest it will allow
me to do is 6 on the font size...anyway to tweak that to
allow smaller? Any really small or non-existent fonts to
try to use? Or how about a color setting for red, blue
and green that would make it transparent??

Once again
Thanks

As always, THANK YOU...
I had it set for Tahoma and typed in 1 in the font size,
maybe I am crazy but I swear it took the "1" even though
it says "6" when I go back...I never even noticed
the "small font size" font and to think EVERYTHING on my
XP has been modified as far as fonts and what not and I
never saw it.

Well again, thank you...I just think that there has to be
something in the reg. to disable these stupid ***,
******* boxes...
Still, it's better than it was

Expand the taskbar on the bottom so it comes up higher
and then it will show the full date/time...
point at the taskbar towards the top of it till you get a
double arrow, then click and pull it up a notch...That
should work
