The green bar is part of the Vista/Internet Explorer 7 Phishing Filter. IE7 also has a new notification area called the Security Status Bar.
Im usually good with finding damn near anything and have attempted every option I can think of to disable all balloon tips and still the annoying little buggers are popping up....
I have tried the old XP registry tweak with EnableBalloonTips and setting its value to 0
I have gone into Group Policy Object Edit and enabled both Disable all balloon tips and Disable balloon tips in Start menu and notification area and still the little bastards keep popping up... if I cannto figure this out soon I am going to start using a pin to see if I can pop them as they appear on my screen!!!!
