Suppress/Disable File List Tooltips in Explorer

One of the most annoying things while going through a folder's file list in XP's Explorer is the persistent popping up of tool-tips showing the file or folder's details.

Here's how to disable them.

Warning: You'll need to access Windows Registry. ALWAYS backup your registry FIRST! Don't proceed if you don't know how/why to do that.

• Launch regedit (Start -> Run -> regedit)
  
  
• Find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
  
  
• Set ShowInfoTip value to 0
  
  
• Exit regedit
  
  
• Restart computer.
  
  

Enjoy tooltip-free lists!
