Hi folks,
I am trying to disable the infotip/tooltip mouse feature (ie. whenever the
mouse is moved over an icon, link or something that is user selectable, a
yellow box with either a description or the link name appears for a few
seconds and then disappears - very similar to alt tags in HTML). Is there an
easy way to do this?
I have tried disabling this feature with regedit.exe as decribed by a
variety of different sources on the internet. Here is an example of one of
the solutions:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowInfoTip"=0 Modify/create the "ShowInfoTip" DWORD Value and give it a
value of 0 in the Decimal box.
I have tried this as well as a few other things, but after rebooting, the
infotips/tooltips are still displaying quite "happily". Arrrgh! These tool
tips can be useful sometimes but when I am browsing the Start menu items (or
just about anything else), the infotips/tooltips appear and disappear to the
point where it becomes difficult to browse menu items because there is this
goofy "yellow box" covering my selections. To avert this problem, I
practically have to play mouse-tag just to see what menu otions are available
when browsing - double arrrrgh!
Any suggestions or advice that anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you, in advance, to all who reply to this post.
