How to Enable/Disable ToolTips in Windows
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Windows Tool tips are small information boxes that appear when we place the cursor on any icon or shorcuts on the desktop. This can be enabled or disabled from the registry. I consider this is a great simple feature but if you choose to enable or disable then try the following tweak in registry.
1. Click Start - Run , type REGEDIT and press enter. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.
2. Now, navigate through to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Explorer
\Advanced
3. Look for the DWORD “ShowInfoTip“, right-click and select Modify and change the value data as required
1 - Enable ToolTips (Default)
0 - Disable ToolTips
This should enable or disable Tool Tips in Windows.
