    Doesn’t work. Still getting same information balloons when hovering cursor over some file or button (this is OK), and the following – VERY annoying:
    When I turn DSL modem On, I’m getting 3 balloons, one by one, all 3 useless:
    1) LAN is connected 100 Mb/s (false, not connected yet).
    2) LAN cable is unplugged (false, cable always plugged in).
    3) LAN is connected (false, not connected for another 20 seconds until modem finished warm-up process and it’s not 100 Mb/s).

    This doesn’t what I need it to do.

    I am trying to prevent XP pro from displaying a description about ALL and ANY item, whenever I hover my mouse pointer over it.

    Example. Mouse over outlook icon on quicklaunch, result large description appears.

    Example, mouse over google search box and box appears to tell me that this is the search box.

    How do I stop this stuff?
