Disable Annoying Balloon Tips

Provided by the FMS Development Team

How can I disable those annoying Balloon tips?

If you would like to disable Balloon tips so you won't have to stop what you are doing to click that little tiny "x", you can edit the following registry key value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

On the EnableBalloonTips key, set it to 0 to disable it.

If the entry is not present, add the key with the type REG_DWORD, then add the appropriate value. The Range is 0 (disable) or 1 (enable - the default).

Thank you! Thank you! I just finished reading this document, which was part of a link in the recent Buzz newsletter. I have printed it for others to read, especially those skeptical on the powers of Access and its capabilities.
