Macstorm Posted August 13, 2008 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted August 20, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macstorm Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
