I am using Windows XP and

MS Word 2002 and want to TURN OFF the mouse preview feature. When in Explorer or Word when I hold mouse over a folder a small window appears with file data or other information. I hate it, how can I get rid of it? Thanks Pak

Go to Kelly's site, line 11, "Disable Balloon Tips or Disable All" at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm. Click on the Disable All portion of that line.

See the top of the page for info on running the script.
