I cant believe somebody wrote software to fix this.

I installed it and it does work but i also uninstalled it because i cant justify having a program running as a service to fix something i never really considered broken (even it was only taking up 8k)

It not for me but i know somebody here has been looking for a way to fix this issue

Microsoft should hire this guy, that bug drives me crazy! I tried it and it really works, I use the tray for a lot of apps so I might keep this on!

hey it worked for mark russinovich. but that guy created a TON of hardcore utils

OT But I think MS hired Mark Russinovich primarily to get him under their control before Vista was released, not just because he made/makes excellent tools

Yeah hes the kind of person you want on your side of the table if your microsoft.

It uses up about 6-7mb of ram for me.

same, but its worth it imo. hopefully it will be optimized more in the near future if possible, otherwise Vista does improve on this behavior.

I personally don't believe it's worth it. Yes, this tooltip problem can be annoying, but having to install an application which then runs in the background constantly to have this fixed is worthless in my humble opinion. How often does this tooltip problem irritate you, that's the question you should ask yourself. If it's a big problem for you, which bothers you daily, then use this application to solve this annoyance. If you're only bothered by it occasionally, like myself, don't install it as it's a waste of hard disk space and resources, even if it's this small and lightweight. But this is all just my opinion of course.

No it isn't. I'd rather have the extra ram and a crappy tooltip.

kinda funny that the same argument could be made against windows vista

Yeah, except vista is the 80mb tooltip patch.

not only does this program use up to 10MB RAM it also uses up to 20MB Virtual Memory!

Yeah, it uses 8 mb for me. Need to uninstall.

Isn't there another program that does the same thing? I saw it here somewhere?

Yup, and here it is: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...&hl=tooltip

yeah that one is a little over the top in usage. the only thing i run anymore that tidys up the taskbar is Taskbar Shuffle

it lets you drag/drop taskbar buttons and systray icons the same way you can move tabs in firefox and it only eats about 1MB
