Tool Tips

[MaryAnn]

Windows XP SP@

In Explorer there is a "Tool Tip" pop up window that
displays if you move your mouse over a file name. Before
I installed sp2 it would show the "detail" of that file.
On my network saved files It does not show the needed
detail about "Last Modified Date" "Author" - etc.

Is there a way to turn this Needed Info on?

In Windows Explorer, go to Tools>Folder Options>View Tab. Scroll down, near the
bottom is a check box for "Show popup descriptions...", check it.

Thanks, but that is checked. It does not show on files

located on the network. Any other Ideas?

Finally found the information on Microsofts site for this issue. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830411
But it states the newest service pack fixes the problem, but I installed XP
SP2 and it didn't solve the problem. It is a hotfix from Microsoft that you
need to fix it.
