Tooltips behind toolbar

When you place the cursor over a quick launch or toolbar icon you get a
descriptive tooltip window.

After a couple of days these tooltips appear behind the toolbar. You can
see the top of them but the message is hidden.

How do I get the proper behavior back without rebooting?
 
Suggestions:

1. Go to Start/All Programs: Hover over any program listed, right click
and select Sort by Name. Repeat once more.

2. Right-click the Taskbar/Properties, uncheck: Keep the taskbar on top of
other windows, apply/ok... Revert.

Hello,

Known Issue - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912650

A workaround is to hover your mouse over the Start button and then to the
system tray. Another workaround is to click on Start > Programs >
(right-click) > Sort By Name.

Yet another is to click on Start > Turn Off > Cancel. But these sometimes
don't work. Microsoft recommends logging off or restarting the PC to fix
this problem.
