To disable balloon tips in the notification area, follow these steps:
  • Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
  • Locate the following subkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
  • Right-click the right side pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips.
  • Double-click EnableBalloonTips, and then give it a value of 0.
  • Close Registry Editor.
  • Log off Windows, and then log back on.

Right-click on your desktop Click on "Arrange Icons by"> "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard" and Uncheck the line if not already done and also you can Go to Control Panel / Display / Desktop tab and Click Customize Desktop ...
Uncheck "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every sixty days" and then click OK.
