Which tooltips did you want to change.

Infotip Customization
There are two ways to customize infotips. One way is to implement an =
object that supports IQueryInfo and then register the object under the =
proper subkey in the registry (see below). Alternatively, you can =
specify either a fixed string or a list of certain file properties to be =
displayed.

To display a fixed string for a namespace extension, create a subkey =
called InfoTip beneath the CLSID key of your namespace extension. Set =
the data of that subkey to be the string you wish to be displayed.


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT=20
CLSID=20
{CLSID}=20
InfoTip=3D InfoTip string for your namespace extension

To display a fixed string for a file type, create a subkey called =
InfoTip beneath the ProgID key of the file type you wish to supply =
infotips for. Set the data of that subkey to be the string you wish to =
be displayed.


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT=20
ProgID=20
InfoTip=3D InfoTip string for all files of this type

If you want the Shell to show certain file properties in the infotip for =
a specific file type, create a subkey called InfoTip beneath the ProgID =
key of that file type. Set the data of that subkey to be a =
semicolon-delineated list of canonical property names or {fmtid}, pid =
pairs where propname is a canonical property name and {fmtid},pid is a =
FMTID/PID pair.


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT=20
ProgID=20
InfoTip=3D propname;propname;{fmtid},pid;{fmtid},pid
