Re: suppress small yellow popups

Hi Paul,

Taskbar Pop-up descriptions (or tool tips) for open programs can not
be removed.

Quick Launch icon Pop-up descriptions (or tool tips) can not be
removed either, however they can be changed.
To change pop-up descriptions (or tool tips) for icons on the Quick
Launch toolbar:
Right click on each icon in the Quick Launch toolbar and select
properties.
Look at comments on the shortcut tab and change or delete the text.
On the General tab, the text in the box at the top can be changed, but
not deleted.
The font size, font color, and background color can also be changed.
To change the font size of pop-up descriptions for Taskbar Icons:
Right click on the Desktop and select properties.
Click the Appearance tab - Advanced Button.
Select Tooltips from the Items dropdown box and adjust the font size
and background color.

How to remove pop-up descriptions (tool tips) from desktop icons:
Open My Computer
Click Tools - Folder Options - View tab, and uncheck this option:
"Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items"
