You shouldn't. They are annoying and your program will suck. Your time is better invested in learning how to design better user interfaces.

How to disable those pests on a system level? I don't use Windows very much, but at work, I have a Windows machine that constantly bombs me with useful messages such as "there are unused icons on your desktop" (OH RLY? I don't recall ever clicking any of them) or "can't find a wireless network" (that's why I've plugged a motherfucking network cable into the box), not to mention Java, Windows Update and whatnot constantly telling me that they want to install more crap on the machine.

There is a registry setting to disable all baloon tips. But don't ask me where.
