Hello Kelly;
With the tips falling behind the Taskbar, in my case, I have Keep the
Taskbar on top and
Lock the taskbar. I don't have to reboot to temporarily fix it.
I just uncheck those two | Apply | OK. And recheck them.

Somebody was going to hang me with a new rope and you know what happens
then.
Well, I was just taking the opportunity. )

With my version of XP, disabled Balloon Tips is an oxymoron.
None of mine are disabled. :-(

In reference to Balloon Tips being disabled, I'm talking about the
following

Disabling or Enabling Balloon Tips has nothing to do with this. What
changes it for some users, is the Taskbar Settings : Hide and/or Always
on
Top.

It falling behind the Taskbar after a length of time does happen, which
a
logoff or reboot corrects. Not, that this should be deemed necessary of
course, but that is just the way it is for now. (

As for not being able to rid of Balloon Tips, that setting via TweakUI

Kelly,

I guess I have a unique instance then, because rebooting didn't correct
anything. Checking and unchecking the boxes in the taskbar settings didn't
fix anything either. It wasn't till I went in to tweakui and checked and
unchecked a box in there that things got back to normal. Either way, I'm all

Did you manually check the registry to see that each edit had been applied?
Is save settings on exit applied? Can the tips you are trying to disable -
be disabled?

If you can't reproduce the flaw, the next time it happens, make notes and

That's nice to know. I can't rid myself of any of the Balloon or
Info
Tips.
As long as I have the damn things, they should work correctly.
I've done all the Registry changes.
What I've done to limp by is change the color to white, instead of
that god awful yellow.
And I changed the duration of the display.

Disabling or Enabling Balloon Tips has nothing to do with this. What
changes it for some users, is the Taskbar Settings : Hide and/or Always on
Top.

It falling behind the Taskbar after a length of time does happen, which a
logoff or reboot corrects. Not, that this should be deemed necessary of
course, but that is just the way it is for now. (

As for not being able to rid of Balloon Tips, that setting via TweakUI
disables those that hover the Notification Area only, not the Taskbar or

white,
instead of that god awful
yellow. And I changed the duration of the display.

Well ... I know the term 'dubbing' isn't =
technical,
but it means I did a few
things without writing them down. I believe =
all I did
was check or uncheck
the Enable Balloon Tips box, and click apply. =
I just
went in now, and the
box is unchecked ... but the balloon tips =
still work,
but my taskbar also
still works properly.

I think I'm calling it the right thing, =
when you
