Making Detail Bubbles in Lists Optional

Hi JT,

Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View/Advanced/Uncheck Popup
Descriptions for Folder and Desktop Items.

TweakUI/Taskbar/Uncheck Enable Balloon Tips
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp

Or use this automated edit:

Disable Balloon Tips or Disable All (Row 11)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Disable All includes: Balloon Tips, Folder Contents Info Tips, Explorer
Pop-Ups and Show Info Tips.

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

In Win Explorer and Word 2002, when a user looks for a
file in a list of files, a "help bubble box" with details
about the file always pops up and obscures some of the
filenames. Isn't there some way to turn this feature off
or to make it optional so that that the information box
will only appear when we want it to?

Thanks,
JT
