Tooltips behind the Taskbar
This is a known problem. A couple of ways to band-aid this. Reboot or
logoff and log back on. Hide the Taskbar then show it again.
Or kill explorer.exe and restart it.
Open Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Escape | Processes tab | Right click explorer.exe |
Select: End Process | Click Yes to Warning | Click File |
Click New Task (Run...) | Type: explorer | Click OK
End Task on explorer.exe will make your Desktop and all programs disappear.
Restarting explorer will bring everything back.
Microsoft has come out with a KB article. Unfortunately the KB article does
not offer any real reason for the CAUSE, or a fix.
Tooltips for some taskbar icons are hidden behind the taskbar on a Windows
XP-based computer

Here's another method, I mean band-aid.
Click Start
Click All Programs
Right-click ANY folder OR shortcut that appears ABOVE the taskbar
Click Sort by Name

Tooltips behind taskbar - FIXED! (Or not)

Somebody posted a program that they created that supposedly fixes the
problem for 9.95 USD. Not worth 10 bucks to me.
I am *NOT* recommending this program, but here ya are..
[[ Check out this web site for more information and a fix:
http://www.acquaviva.us/tooltipmanager
Tool Tip Manager specifically fixes this problem by looking at various
taskbar window messages and resetting the tooltip's "topmost" window
style automatically as needed.

In news:TSRh.2amx3o@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
TSRh <TSRh.2amx3o@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I did a fix, if you need can get it here:
"http://risc.nm.ru/tooltips fix.exe"
To run it you also need the VB6 runtime,
can be found on microsoft.com
Attention:
There could be some odd behavior with windows that was already opened
while running the fix, so reopening them will help.
p.s.: The fix applies HWND_TOPMOST to all windows where "ToolTip" found
in it's classname.
