Don't know if this is what might help but I use a program called X-Setup that lets you tweak all sorts of things on your system, including all the annoying tool tips and little pop-up balloons you see. I have used it for quite awhile and its works great for getting rid of all sorts of annoying problems. Hope this helps.

yrag had a good prog suggestion in this thread. The problem I had was it turned off more than I wanted. I had gotten used to certain tool tips and ballons but after awhile I got used to it. I have since turned everything back on. Its worth a try. I was never able (or didn't find the setting) to disable the tips you are talking about though.
Im gonna try the X -setup when I confirm that I will have no issues running two seperate tweaking tools.

NightTrain....Thought I would let you know, I have more than one tweak program running on mine and X-setup doesn't seem to cause any problems with the others.

I've used these progs before and they do work ,but all these settings are available in windows thru your admin tools(at least in xp pro)I have regedited,unchecked boxxes,and used my admin tools till I'm ready to pull my hair out! >
go to run,type gpedit.msc many,many windows settings(just not one that works for this)

I just went to it and I got it to download. I went to their download page, then the one they show there for majorgeeks.com and seem to work for me. Is that the same place you tried? I installed it just to make sure and everything seems in order. Anyway, if you want I will gladly e-mail it to you, it is a 4.6mb file so it is up to you. I am on a cable line so sending is no trouble just let me know.

Randy, if I remember right you have XP pro (?)...if you do :
go to start >> run then type in "gpedit.msc" (no quotes) and that will give you access to the Group Policy Editor
This will not work in XP Home
