Navigate to the following registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Create a new DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips.
4. Give it a decimal value of 0 (zero)
5. Click OK.
6. Close regedit.

Second way to do this is via gpedit.msc
1. Open Group Policy, then load the group policy you want to apply the change to.
Note: On a computer that is not a part of a domain you can set this feature locally by running GPEDIT.MSC from the Run command (only on XP Pro).
2. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu & Taskbar
3. Double-click Remove Balloon Tips on Start Menu Items and select Enabled.
4. Ok all the way out.
5. To revert to the original configuration status you'll need to Disable the same option, click Apply, and then set it to Not Configured.
