Tooltips

[Krpano]

Ok,

I dunno what to try anymore..

Any solutions i found here or anywhere seems useless to disable tooltips for me...

Does anyone here managed to disable it ?

The tooltips i want to disable r those which appears when u hover items on the taskbar and startup menu...

Plz.....someone ?

:alien:

Eheh,

RUN> regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer and Advanced

Right click ShowInfoTip and select modifiy.

Set the value to "0" and click OK.

Close the regedit editor and log off and log back on.

Have fun :D

Kind of off topic, but just being curious... why do you want to disable tooltips?

[j.r.l.]

Because on some systems it slows down the computer to a crawl,

Hey, thx for the reg tip but ive already tried that.....and still the same. :no:

Ive tried all tips i found on this forum without success, does anyone have the same problem ?

This can be off topic for u but not for me, ive been fighting with this for months.

I anwser ur question with another.

Why have tooltips ?

I dont need it....im the only one who uses this computer and i know perfectly what i instaled and where it is, i dont want annoying tooltips appearing everytime i hover something.

:shifty:

I'll find that for you in a few minutes.... I got a pretty good idea of it but I forgot where the key was...

In TweakUI you can disable ballons tips which is really the same thing I think.

[j.r.l.]

Well the registry tweak I gave him is the same.

I'm on Tweak UI right now... theres no option for that. I'll go check on Tweakxp.

[j.r.l.]

To disable the ToolTips that are displayed when you move the mouse pointer over the Minimize, Maximize or Close buttons, use Registry Editor to modify the "UserPreferencemask" value in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop

Make note of the value. (For example: ae 00 00 00)

Double-click the UserPreferencemask entry. Under Value Data, the cursor is in front of the first value (for example from above: ae). For the first number or letter, see below for the correct value to use in the next step (the second number/letter remain the same):

  If first is "8", use "0" (number 0)

  If first is "9", use "1"

  If first is "a", use "2"

  If first is "b", use "3"

  If first is "c", use "4"

  If first is "d", use "5"

  If first is "e", use "6"

Type in the correct first number, and then type the second number/letter. The original first value is moved to the right. Press delete to remove the original value.

NOTE: The original value must be deleted.

For example: "ae 00 00 00"  would now be  "2e 00 00 00"

Restart your computer.

NOTE: If Profiles are enabled, the "UserPreferencemask" value for the .Default user may also need to changed. The key containing this is:

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\desktop

yay !!! :yes:

I got rid of Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons tooltips with ur trick AresXP..

Thx a lot (Y)

Now i just need to get rid of the taskbar sh*t tooltips... :unsure:

Ill do a bit of research this afternoon, if i solve my problem ill let u know.

Ive used Tweak-UI and i had no success.

PS.

Who needs a tooltip saying "Click here to begin" ?

[j.r.l.]

Err. I didnt disable that one. I never even took notice of it before you mentioned it :s

[samxt]

disableall.reg

[Krpano]

thx, but that didnt help neither...

im getting tired of trying, i think i give it up.

Actually, does anyone of u disabled that ?

The taskbar toolsh*t.

:angry:

[insanekiwi]

tweakui works fine for me.

[fragmore]

Use Tweakui, a Microsoft prodict. Use version 2.10.0.0 or higher. Highlight the category Task bar and Start Menu. Look at the first Option...Enable baloon tips. Make your choice and proceed as directed.

No need to make a major production out of such a simple thing.

[Krpano]

I tried TweakUI and everything else....nothing happens.

Ill wait till the next fresh install....maybe i have some program f*cking me up.

[j.r.l.]

Nope, ur right its not workin. Bleh I got over it... I'll try more tonight. I'll keep ya updated tomorrow.

Sorry, I really hate it when people start thinking that they know it all and spout off a belligerent, condescending response to a question that they misunderstand. So...

[j.r.l.]

We all do know that sir! I'm trying to find how to disable 'em all man

[j.r.l.]

Have fun!

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.

2. Navigate to the following subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

3. Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips.

4. Double-click this new entry, and then give it a hexadecimal value of 0.

5. Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log back on.

[adzee]

ok, so what u wana do (like me) is turn off this tooltip in the start menu right?

just seems to be a fair bit of misunderstanding in this thread, and I'd like to know how to do this myself!

[Krpano]

This is what i would like to get rid off :

The "TOOLTIPS".

:rolleyes:

[adzee]
