A. To stop tips for the current user you can uncheck the displaycheckbox on the dialog when it is displayed or edit the registry:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move toHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerTips
Double click 'show'
Change the 01 to 00
Click OK
Close the registry editor
To stop it being shown for new users edit the the value underHKEY_USERS.DEFAULT and set to 0 which new users will inherit. This works underWindows 2000.
