I don’t know about you, but those little bubbles that Microsoft displays to inform you about ‘important’ things are starting to drive me crazy.
‘You have unused icons on your desktop’
‘You have updates waiting to be loaded’
‘What the hell you looking down here for?’
etc etc
I am just tired of it, and I know a quick way to fix it. There is a Microsoft KB article dedicated to this subject:

The short of it is – you can disable these balloons by changing this registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableBalloonTips
To 0
(You might need to create this DWORD value if it does not already exist)
If you don’t feel like playing around in the registry, we have written a little
program that will do it for you:
