Didn't realize it before, but X-Setup (www.xteq.com) by Xteq Systems has a
way to disable XP's "balloon tips". Again, this works on my particular PC.
YMMV
If you decide to D/L and install, after starting the program, choose
"Classic" mode. Entry is under "Appearance", "Interface", "Tool
Tips/Balloon Tips", "Windows XP Balloon Tips". Uncheck the box on top
right. Restart your PC. HTH
