Gerry Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would like to eliminate the boxes that pop up whenever my cursor moves over an icon or other symbol in Windows, explaining what that icon does. It is annoying to me, it always seems to hide the icon so I can't see it to click on it. Can this function be disabled ?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
