I'm not sure what you mean. I just have the time at the lower right
on the task bar. I click it for the date. Looks the same to me as it
was before I removed the balloons.

No, it won't be removed.

Disable Balloon Tips or Disable All (Row 11)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Disable All includes: Balloon Tips, Folder Contents Info Tips, Explorer
Pop-Ups, Show Info Tips, Start Menu and Notification Area.

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

However, if you do want the clock removed or restored, that can be done with
this small utility (that also corrects many taskbar issues):
