Disable the Balloon Tips for folders.

This tweak is use to disable the Balloon Tips of the folders.

Tweak for : Windows XP

Description:

A new feature in Win XP is the Balloon Tips which helps the average user to understand what is happening on the computer. More experienced users don’t need feedback all the time, so the Balloon Tips can become superfluous. By using this tweak you are able to configure their behavior.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter "regedit" and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a DWORD value "FolderContentsInfoTip", if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to "0" to disable Balloon Tips.

Log off or restart your system for the change to take effect.
