Explorer.exe controls  the balloon tips.   It can be disabled in the  registry  here:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

By adding:
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

Instead of restarting your computer, you may end the process ‘Explorer’ and start it again, or Log Out and Log In.

I have a made a prebuilt registry file available here.
