Tooltips showing up behind tool bar items

[Ed]

I had an earlier problem (See "Tooltips showing behind system tray"), which
I resolved by the following...

1. Going to the Start Menu properties
2. Clicking on Taskbar
3. Unchecked 'Keep the taskbar on top of other windows'. Then clicked on
Apply.
4. Unchecked 'Keep the taskbar on top of other windows'. Then clicked on
Apply."

The only problem I have now is the items in the Tool bars still show the
comments or tooltips behind the tool bar and not in front of it.

Anyway way to resolve this? What I did for the taskbar did not work for the
toolbar?

No fix. It's caused by using Show Desktop. Unlike minimise all which minimises all windows that can be minimised Show Desktop then goes and hides the windows that can't be minimised. Toolstips are always there but hidden. The don't get created when they appear they unhide. The system is merely confused.

Make a Minimise All thing for QL

Create a text file called something.vbs. Create a shortcut to it and place the shortcut on the desktop or Start menu (only places windows looks for shortcuts with shortcut keys), right click it, Properties, and set it to a keystroke. This will do all open windows.

Paste this in

Set wshshell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
wshshell.TileHorizontally

Choose one from below

CascadeWindows Cascadess all of the windows on the desktop.
EjectPC Ejects the computer from its docking station.
FileRun Displays the Run dialog to the user.
FindComputer Displays the Find: Computer dialog box.
FindFiles Displays the Find: All Files dialog box.
Help Displays Microsoft® Windows® Help.
MinimizeAll Minimizes all of the windows on the desktop.
RefreshMenu Refreshes the contents of the Start Menu.
SetTime Displays the Date/Time Properties dialog box.
ShutdownWindows Displays the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
Suspend Suspends the computer.
TileHorizontally Tiles all of the windows on the desktop horizontally.
TileVertically Tiles all of the windows on the desktop vertically.
TrayProperties Displays the Taskbar Properties dialog box.
UndoMinimize ALL Restores all of the windows on the desktop to the
same state they were in before the last MinimizeAll command.

To tile/cascade specific windows ctrl + click them on the taskbar, then right click one and choose cascade or tile.

Because there is no answer.The KB is wrong. It's fairly random. Doing anything with windows might fix it and might not at any particular point in time. I merely explained the cause.
