Disable tooltips in Win 7?

[vick1000]

I have googled and binged my tail off for two days now, and I cannot find a solution that works to disable all tooltips and balloons in Win 7.

I have tried all the reg hacks and crap that comes up on the search engines, and they do nothing.

I believe that they were or are, causing my machine to lock up randomly. As whenever it locks up, there is a partially faded tooltip stuck every time. I have found the setting to disable the fading or sliding, and have not had a lock since (knock on wood), but I realized I would really just like to get rid of them all together.

Any ideas OS gurus?

Sounds like you have much bigger issues...

Tried all those.

No lock up since disabling the tooltip animation.

Agreed, sounds like a bigger issue that you may have found a "bandaid" solution for.
