Macstorm Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Folks,Windows XP Pro SP3Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.1I want to disable the info/details shown when you hover over any .pdf icon. I find this feature annoying because it triggers and executes four processes automatically in the system (2 instances of adobe_cleanup.0001, 1 adobelmsvc.exe and acrobat.exe). These processes start and run even if i´m not working with acrobat files when i accidentally hover over the .pdf icons placed on the desktop. Btw, I chose not to start Acrobat when i turn on my computer neither want those processes to auto-start in the background unless i´m working with acrobat files.Any ideas?
DigeratiPrime Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I think that is a shell extension used for loading a thumbnail preview and file metadata.You might be able to disable it with a shell manager or by unregistering a dll.http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.htmlhttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_menu_view.html
Macstorm Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Hi DigeratiPrime,Thanks a lot for the links, hope i can solve this annoying 'problem'.
Jeremy Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > Show pop-up description of desktop and folder items. Ensure this is unchecked. That should fix that.Use msconfig or strun.exe from Nirsoft or CCleaner to remove any undesired start-up items.
Macstorm Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Huh?I'm back to the beginning then Thanks Jeremy, i'll try that as well. As for the start-up items don't worry, they are under control
