Description:

When Windows Messenger is closed, it minimizes into the notification area (earlier called as system tray). Normally, a balloon tip pops-up that it is still running in the background. The notifier pops-up automatically and can be closed down by clicking on 'X' in top right corner. However, if you are annoyed of this regular pop-up display you can disable it through this simple registry change.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a binary value “DSBkgndMode” in the right panel, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify its value to “1” which can disable balloon tips. However, if you want enable the display back, change the value data to “0” or delete the added value.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
