ennekingk said:Good try Wesley, but I am not making it clear what the challenge is. On
my Task Bar I have shortcut icons that require 1 click to go to the
target. When I move the pointer over say the Internet Explorer icon a
small text message pops up and says: Launch Internet Explorer Browser;
and is has a single black line border around the message.
I want to eliminate those messages.

It's called the Quick Launch toolbar on the Taskbar. Or just Quick Launch.
There are some machines, like my own, where the balloon tips CANNOT be
removed.
My personal favorite is: "Click here to begin"
