Registry changes cannet be saved
I have been trying to disable balloon tips by changing the Registry EnableBalloonTips value in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced from 1 to 0. Having changed the value, the balloon tips no longer appear ...........Until I re-boot !Then back they come again. When I check the registry value, it has defaulted back to 1. I change it back to 0, and all is fine again until I re-boot, when I discover that it always re-cycles back to 1.Can anyone suggest why the registry value keeps re-setting itself automatically ?Thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

I’ve just looked at an XP machine and the key you mention doesn’t exist.What does exist is these two keys:1. HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced, StartButtonBalloonTip (REG_DWORD) in the right pane has a value of 2.2. HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/TrayNotify and BalloonTip (REG_DWORD) in the right pane also has a value of 2.
