Turning off mp3 tips in Explorer

[Don Wiss]

In Explorer's Folder Options -> View I have "Display file size information
in folder tips" unchecked. But when I am hovering over a mp3 file listing
it pops up a large tip with the file information. It is rather annoying.
How can I turn this off?

Thanks, Don <donwiss at panix.com>.

Is it a windows tooltip?

It would appear to be a Windows tooltip. Maybe a Power Toy I installed two
years ago?

Hi Don,

TweakUI/Taskbar/Uncheck Enable Balloon Tips
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/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, Show Info Tips, Start Menu and Notification Area.

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.

I suspect it's got nothing to do with windows. Post a screen shot of it (that will tell). Crop the picture to just the tip (so should be small file).
