yellow menu boxes please help

[Frank]

All of the comments had already been removed...Here's my
problem...eg; I make a new toolbar for my desktop, with a
link to a website...the yellow box pops up with the
url...It will not go away...comments are removed, files
renamed, and if I try to remove a name for files it will
not let me remove it completely, so all I can do is alter
the name, but the urls still stay and the name of the
page remains

Thanks

frank......if you are still looking at this.....
found this on the help/support newsgroup
-------------------------
What you are complaining about are called Baloon Tops and
they ARE a real
pain.
Here's how to get rid of them.
Copy the following three lines to Notepad or some
editor. Word is ok:
===============================================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersi
on\Explorer\Advanc
ed]

"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000


================================================
Now save that file as "DiableBaloonTips.reg"
Double-click the saved file to execute.
Reboot.

This makes a change to your registry to tell XP not to
use them. You may
want to be very safe and do an export of your entire
registry with RegEdit
prior to doing anything that makes changes.
