Assist Pop-ups?

[MarkC]

I do not know how to explain it, and not sure where the source is making
this happen. IE7, or XP Pro, but have to start somewhere.

When I am using Yahoo or a few other search engines, when I hover the mouse
over the search field to type, a short pop assist message flashes. It is
very annoying and like to know how to turn that off. Some websites like MSN
doesn't have that showing up.

Hmmm, I just now noticed when I was typing the subject for this news post
using Outlook Express, the assist popup came on again, it says "type the
subject for this message". Now I am really confused what activates this.

Also what is it referred to as.

Thanks,

Mark
