Description:
By default, windows show short information as tool tip when you hover mouse over the minimize, maximize or close buttons of a program or an application. This setting can disable this feature. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, right-click and modify the binary value userpreferencesmask, in the right panel. The new value should correspond to the chart given below depending upon the default value on your system. Remember: only the first number / character of the binary value should be changed. Say if the default data value in 9e 3e 07 80, the changed value will be 1e 3e 07 80 i.e. The first number 9 should be replaced with 1. <table><tr><td>first number/alphabet</td><td>replaced value</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>a</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>b</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>c</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>d</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>e</td><td>6</td></tr></table> however, if you want to enable tooltips back, change the value data to original. 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.
