   \"Yes, this is good.After using a registry cleaner you\’re going to need spyware protection to get rid of the main source of registry errors which is… spyware. Just to be on the safe side, run this program after you run your registry cleaner. It will help out immensely preventing future registry errors.

   These are the so called ‘balloon’ popups.

   To disable them, copy the following into notepad…

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
   "EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

   …and save the file as disableballoons.reg
   Double-click on that disableballoons.reg, restart your computer and no more balloons! :O)

   To disable ‘Clean your desktop…’: Right-click desktop -> Properties -> Desktop tab -> Uncheck the ‘Run Desktop clean up wizard every 60 days’ box and apply changes.

   To Disable the tooltips: You’ll need to edit the registry… Do not attempt this unless you are 1000% sure you know what you are doing…

   To disable balloon tips in the notification area (Right side of the task bar):
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \Advanced]
   EnableBalloonTips = 0

   To disable "Show popup description for folder and desktop items" (Folder Options):
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \Advanced]
   ShowInfoTip = 0

   To disable tooltip for folders:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \Advanced]
   FolderContentsInfoTip = 0

   To disable tooltips for the start button:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Explorer \Advanced]
   StartButtonBalloonTip = 0

   To disable tooltips for the start menu:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Policies \Explorer]
   NoSMBalloonTip = 1

   …there are many tweeks that can be done by editing the registry, but as stated before. NEVER mess with the registry unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

   Hope it helps…
