| | Those narrow, rectangular window things...... What do you call those narrow white rectangular windows that appear every time my clicker points at something, to tell me what I'm looking at!? And, how do you get rid of those pesky things!! They're more of a nuisance than Bill is to Hillary! -- Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care... |

At the bottom uncheck "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items" -- All the best, SG "Synapse Syndrome" <synapse@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u8ckxJUZIHA.984@xxxxxx Quote: > "Sig" <Ziggy@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:0F4EC651-C2A6-408A-9A3A-9D0505635FC7@xxxxxx Quote: >> What do you call those narrow white rectangular windows that appear every >> time my clicker points at something, to tell me what I'm looking at!? >> And, >> how do you get rid of those pesky things!!
