Really simple question - getting rid of alert bubbles

I want to get rid of all of those yellow alert bubbles that appear from the system tray. Where can I disable them?

I know it's in a really easy to find place but I can't for the life of me think where!

Thanks

If you mean the balloon tool tips, do this:
Click 'Start' and then 'Run'
Enter 'regedit' and press Return
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Modify or create, "EnableBalloonTips" and set the Value to 0. To restore set the Value to 1.
As with all registry tweaks, be extremely careful as you can adversly effect your systems performance by fiddling in the registry.

You can also use TweakUI. From there you can also set many different settings. Its a powerful program that I feel any moderate user can use.

TweakUI link: From Microsoft

I regularly install this on clients computers to edit things, and give them a quick run-down of what it does.
