You have to set the value of EnableBalloonTips in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced to 0. You can use the RegistryKey class for that.

Then you can use a method to exit Windows Explorer and start Windows Explorer again using Process.Start.

However you should ask for user's permission before you restart Windows Explorer.
