I checked my Registry settings as per the Microsoft url above but the Balloon Tips DWORD is set to '0' (Do not display) but I I'm still getting the pop-ups.
I also tried both the VB_Scipt url and via that site's home page, but it's a dead end. However, if the script basically modifies the Registry setting, then I'm back to square one.

Umm I think your are looking for a system wide change here that affects everything correct? If so then I believe WIn98 had away to do this but I don't believe XP has it.

I also checked the My Computer/Tools/FolderOptio
I neglected to say that I'm running Win XP-Professional. And yes to CrazyOne's comment that I'm looking for a systemwide solution.
Guys, please don't give up on me!!!

heyyyyyyy i have found something here but im not sure abt that it will work or not.....as i can't test it on my system.....!!
see this page http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
here u will find a line in the first column, the number 11.
11. Disable Balloon Tips or Disable All
so that means u can disable the Balloon Tips or can Disable All balloons ;)
click on the "Disable All" , it will ak to save or open the file, chooz save, save it in a save palce, and after download is complet run this file, see this page has given the deirections:
"To use the Regedits: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right clicking on the file and selecting Edit."
Another thing which they have affered is:
"Disable .Net Passport Balloon Pop-up - Restore"
means those .net passport balloons abt the messenger which u get in the notification area.
u can download both these registry files...and can run one by one to see the results...but remember after running one registry file...first restart ur computer and then run the secodn registry file.....it is more safe :)
hehehe...i got one more ;)
"Disable Background Notice Balloon in Messenger"
this registry can disable that balloon...which comes when u close messenegr and it says, "Messenegr is running in the background"
so u can download these three registry entries and run them!!
