detailed pop-up description

[Kurt @ RFT]

Question regarding the pop-up descriptions that come up in XPSP2 when you
hover the mouse over a file. If you go to the properties of the file, and
enter info into the summary tab, that information is displayed as well in
the
pop-up. Problem is, if the file is not local, it doesn't display that extra
information, just file size, name, etc... How do I get it to display that
information when the file is on a network drive/share? Had Win2K before and
it worked for network files.

Hi Kurt,

Check following article:

that uses NTFS

Actually, it is designed to prevent network access performance issue.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

As Vincent said. But here is a workaround for you:

ToolTips do not display complete information about files that are located on a network share:
