I keep getting this pop up balloon telling me that windows has blocked some start up programs.

DUH! I'm the one who chose which programs to block and I want to make it stop telling me what I already know!

I need a second opinion on the instructions listed below?

Is this correct? Will this solve my problem or create a worse one?

Thanks in advance for any response!

INSTRUCTIONS:

* Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
* Navigate to the following subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced

* Create a new REG_DWORD (32 bit) value named EnableBalloonTips
* Double-click EnableBalloonTips, and then assign a value data of 0
* Exit the Registry Editor
* Log off Windows, and then log back on.

I tried to rate your answer but the system said I need to spread some reputations around before I could rate your answer? Not sure what that means. I'm 100% sure that your answer is correct based on your rep here! I did however, try the method described in my question, on another laptop first, it worked great, so I did it on mine and it is perfectly eliminated now without any further problems... yet? Thanks Big Guy!
