Anyone know how to turn these damn things off?
Yes I know my wireless lan connection is not connected because I don't want
it on damn it!
every time I turn my machine on I keep getting this blasted ballon and I
just don't want to see it.
If it's in the registry I can cope with that too.

Did the trick. No more pesty balloons show up now.

Download Tweak UI:

The option to disable balloons is under "Taskbar and Startup."

And you get the bonus of all the other tweaks as well.
