Turn off Vista notification balloons
Tired of the notification balloons in the Windows Vista task bar? There is a way to completely turn off task bar balloon notifications using a registry edit hack. To do this start the registry editor and navigate to this section:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER> Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer Advanced
Once you get there right-click on an empty area of the right side of the window and select New > 32-bit DWORD. Give the new entry the name EnableBalloonTips and a value of 0.
Once you are done, you'll need to reboot for the change to take effect. But once you do, the task bar balloon notifications will be completely turned off.
