Can I get rid of the pop-up details box in file listings?

[Bert Coules]

In Windows Explorer and other situations where directories and files are
displayed, I find it most convenient to have the File View set to "list".
When the cursor is rested on any individual filename, a pop-up box appears
giving the file type, size, date last modified and similar. Is it possible
to turn this feature off?

Many thanks,

Bert

Once Windows Explorer starts (I assume that happens when one clicks
'Computer' and accesses the C drive, but if it isn't, open Windows Explorer
from the accessories menu) and then a folder, one of the items on the menu
bar is 'Tools'. Click that and look though the settings - one of them is a
check box to enable/disable tooltips on folders and files..

Incidentally, if you keep the tooltips, you can also decide which info items
you want them to show.
