Level: Recommended For Experts Only
Description:
Windows displays information text if the mouse is hovered on a file or folder. This text is the information about the file which is called tool tip. If a new file type is created on your system you may add a customized tool tip, if it doesnt exists, or change the existing one, if the tool tip already exists. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, move to the file extension (like .aso) on which you would like to create/edit the tool tip. Here, copy the value data of the default string value of the file extension, and search the same in the hierarchical tree structure. You can create a string value infotip, if this value does not exist. Now enter the info tip you would like to show with the file when mouse is hovered over it. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
