How to disable tool tips

F

FAC

I would like to disable the tool tips in Windows XP.

I think that I am using the correct term - When you hold
the mouse over an icon - say on the Control Panel window -
a little window displays with information about that
icon. Can I disable this information display? If so -
how?

Thanks for your help.

Hi -

Go to Control Panel --> Folder Options. Under the "View"
tab you'll see an option that says "Show pop-up
description for folder and desktop items". Uncheck the
box and click OK. Problem solved :)
