Pop up on mouse over

[Amy R]

Hi,

When I move my mouse cursor over any icon or link, a box
pops up that describes the function/path/use of the
particular application or link. Is there a way to disable
this option? Thanks,

Amy

I think the boxes that pop up might be called balloon tips?

Hi,

Click on Explorer.
click the menu Tools | Folder options.
then in view tab uncheck that box "show description for folders and desktop items."
