File Properties in Explorer Pop-up Balloons

[Raymond]

hello,

I'm wondering how I can manage the information i.e. file propoerties, in the
roll-over balloon (yellow) that appears at my cursor when I roll-over files
in the Explorer window.

Sometimes there seems to be more or less infrormation included in this
pop-up.

Thanks for your help!!

Sorry, I didn't mean to invite spam.

Just wondering if I can control what information is displayed in the
roll-over pop-up I see in Windows Explorer...

Thanks!

Raymond,

You can customize what's shown in the infotip box. Open Regedit.exe and
navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

Double-click "InfoTip" and set its data accordingly.

The Property names are documented here:

a network share:
