This article explains how to disable Balloon Tips in Windows Vista. I thought it would be a nice follow up article on the one that described how to make the balloon tips transparent. I personally think that Balloon Tips have no right to be there at all, they look awful and most do not contain information that are important in any way. I disabled them the first day I started using Windows XP and I did the same on my Windows Vista notebook. Balloon Tips are a waste of time in my opinion. Let me explain how you can disable balloon tips in Windows Vista.
* Press Windows+R, enter gpedit.msc and hit enter. This opens the Group Policy Editor. Please note that the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is not available in Windows Vista Home and Vista Home Premium. I’m going to outline how to disable balloon tips on those editions at the end
* Go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start Menu and Taskbar.
* Select Remove Balloon Tips, right-click it and choose properties from the context menu
* Select Enable from the options and click ok
* Close the Group Policy Editor
* Reboot Windows Vista
As I said earlier gpedit.msc is not available in Windows Vista Home and Home Premium which means that we have to rely on the registry to disable those annoying balloon tips in Windows Vista.
* Press Windows+R, type regedit and hit enter. This starts the registry editor
* Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / Advanced
* Create a new Dword and name it EnableBalloonTips
* The value should be automatically set to 0, if it is not change it to 0
* Reboot Windows Vista

这篇文章阐述了如何去取消Widows Vista的汽球提示功能。我想，这篇文章是如何继续在Windows vista下使用透明效果汽球提示功能更加明晰化的进一步讨论。我个人认为，Widows根本无权弄出一个汽球提示功能在那儿，它们看起来非常糟糕而且没有任何实际意义。当我第一天使用Widows XP的时候就取消了这个服务，然后我对Widows Vista也做了相同的事情。在我看来，汽球提示功能完全是浪费时间。现在，让我解释一下如何取消Widows Vista汽球提示服务：
• 按下Windows+R，输入grpeidt.msc，然后回车。这将打开组策略编辑器。请注意，组策略编辑器（gpedit.msc）在Windows Vista Home版和Windows Vista Home Permium版里并不奏效。我将在文章的最后讲解如何在这些版本里取消Windows Vista汽球服务。
• 转到用户设置、管理模版、开始菜单和任务条。
• 选择卸载汽球提示功能：右键点击汽球提示功能，选择下拉菜单中卸载工具。
• 在选项中选择“启用”，然后点“OK”
• 关闭组策略编辑器
• 重新启动Widows Vista
上文说过，gpedit.msc在Windows Vista Home版和Windows Vista Home Permium版里并不奏效，这就意味着我们不得不依赖注册表以去除Windows Vista里这一恼人的功能：
• 按下Windows+R，输入regedit，然后回车，进入注册表编辑器。
• 进入HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / Advanced
• 创新一个新Dword键，并且命名为：EnableBalloonTips
• 其键值应该自动被设为零，如果不是的话，请手工改为零。
• 重新启动Widows Vista
