Looks to be DWord 

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: ShowInfoTip

Modify/Create the Value Name [ShowInfoTip] according to the Value Data listed below.

Value Data: [0 - ShowInfoTip Disabled / 1 - ShowInfoTip Enabled]

Exit Registry and Reboot

Here is an export from mine 

The keys haven't changed much from windows 2000 and on. This is from my Windows 7

thanks shane   i was just thinking about going to another computer and copying key and emailing to myself  haha 

  thanks il merge the reg file thanks  yeah ive looked every where for a fix for it  il let you know how it turns out    by the way the new  version of clean mem still works like a charm on vista

[Shane]

Good to hear

Let me know if those keys take care of you

Shane

yeah shane i extracted the zip and merged and rebooted  i came back  and start menu was almost as tall a screen i  guess windows 7 64 bit and vista 32 bit don't want to play nice    but no biggy 
i removed my  factory image om d drive months ago and i store macruim reflect back-up images there 
 im no stranger to breaking windows     be up and going in 10 minutes    what do you think about me  using another vista home premium and exporting the advance key and emailing it to myself you think that will work

[Shane]

Might work. But those keys are no different than xp and vista. If there are new keys the older OS's would just ignore them anyways lol.

I think another thing you should do is a system file check to to be safe.

open and cmd window and sfc /scannow

oh and make sure you have SP 2 for vista installed

Good, we need more of those in the forum. 

I also suggest you add that as your signature.   

Expect useful feedback once I properly think about your post regarding reg files...

Good you got that working

Have you made sure you have all windows updates?

Shane

[hangdawg]

yeah shane all update even more so as i had to install like 2 additional ones for  ie9 beta  but the info balloons has been that way a long time thanks for looking at it for me

[Shane]

Why is it you want them disabled? 

Shane

[hangdawg]

 oh if you hover over start button or quick launch  or things in taskbar there are hover ballons  would be nice to fix
 but ive lived with it this long      just to know how to fix figure id give you a crack at it  ive looked and tried everything on internet  but still there  but thanks for trying   

[Shane]
