Whenever I used to turn on my computer, the balloontip used to pop up , but
now its not. is there any way to get it back?

Please reply, i would really appreciate it. thanks

Hi,

This can be done using Tweakui. Install Tweakui and go to
Task and Start menu, then check Enable balloon tips.
Or here's a script to Disable Balloon Tips

Microsoft PowerToys - Tweakui for WinXP: Ver. 2.10 requires WinXP SP1
and later
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/h.../powertoys.asp

TweakUI can be accessed from Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Assuming SP2 is installed, install Tweakui and go to Task and Start
menu, then check Enable balloon tips.

Bert:
Unless I'm mistaken, Tweak UI is installed in Control Panel and is accessed
from there, is it not?

ADDENDUM:
Yes, you're right Bert. It can also be accessed from All Programs if the
user has Powertoys installed. I never realized that since I've always
accessed Tweak from Control Panel. Thanks for the tip.
Anna

i tried that, but it seems that it had 'disabled' the balloons instead of
activating them. and i didnt find the 'Enable balloon tips' check box.

Hi Anna,

By default TweakUI does not appear in Control Panel when it's installed.
I use this script to add it.
Add TweakUI to Control Panel in Windows XP
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_addtweak.htm

In Windows 9x and ME, it was added as part of the install process of
TweakUI.

Open TweakUI

In the left column click on "Taskbar and Start Menu"

On the right under Settings, put a check mark next to "Enable balloon
tips"
