If I use another application, like AutoCAD, and I have several open AutoCAD
drawings minimized, how or where do I set Windows XP so when I touch the
minimized drawing with the mouse a tooltip appears telling me the name of
the drawing? (so I know the name of the drawing before opening it).
Thanks in advance.

Click Start -> Run -> regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Name: EnableBalloonTips
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 <--- disables tips
Value: 1 <--- enables tips
If 'EnableBalloonTips' is not there, create (and rename) a new DWORD entry and assign the value.
 
Thanks for your response.
After creating a new DWORD as you advised, the value I assigned to my new
entry was 0x00000001 (1), is that correct?
But I don't see the balloom tips with drawing names as yet in the minimized
AutoCAD drawings, even after I restarted my computer.
The instructions below are for all the applications in my computer or just
for the Explorer?
Did I left something out?
Please advise.
