File info when hovering?
 

I seem to have lost the facility that pops up information of files and
folders when I hover the mouse cursor over them in a Windows folder.
Could someone remind me where it's set please?

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS
In the View tab, enable these two options:

[] Display file size information in folder tips
[] Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items

Click Apply, OK.
