Windows Annoyances

The Annoyance: A text balloon repeatedly pops out of the system tray on Windows XP’s taskbar to warn you that an update is ready to install, or to provide some other nugget of information you don’t really need to address at that instant.

The Fix: This is another job for Tweak UI (make sure Tweak UI is installed). Open the program and select Taskbar and Start menu in the left pane. Then uncheck Enable balloon tips on the right, and click OK.
