If you mean the Balloon Tips that pop up form the system tray they can be disabled by downloading and running TweakUI from Microsoft.

It will allow you to disable these annoying pop up and a few other things besides.

Little balloon pop up everywhere in XP telling you information. If these annoy you, turn them off. Here's how.

Directions -
'Tis easy to turn off the pop-up balloons in XP:


1. Goto Control Panel
2. Click Folder Options (in the classic view)
3. Click the View tab
4. Unselect the Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items option
5. Click OK
