Way To Disable Tooltips Entirely?
Oct 13, 2012
I know its probably the most asked Windows question there is, but has any one found a way to disable tooltips entirely? I've done the easily found registry edit ShowTipInfo for Explorer - doesnt change anything for me, ANYWHERE. I still get tooltips in IE.They're driving me nuts and are now appearing in the weirdest locations sometimes - namely the TOP of my screen. - for no apparent reason, I certainly didnt (knowingly) change anything.

Is there anyway to remove or delay these annoying tooltips when hovering over anything in windows 7?They are seriously annoying and useless. I remember i had the same problem in win xp and never found a way to disable all of them. I was hoping this would change in Windows 7 but seems like it didn't.

How to make it stop, when you put your mouse over an item it eventually pops up with a little box that tells you what it is? Like you put your mouse over the back button and it eventually tells you "Back". Well, mine doesn't wait. It pops up right away most of the time, especially in my favorites and on items on my taskbar. They're called tooltips. I found how to disable it in the regedit, but it didn't change anything. I'm still getting the tooltips. However, I just logged off and back on (which has worked fine in the past for other regedit changed)... it says to reboot. Do I really need to? Deleted the value in the regedit entirely. Rebooted. No change.

I can't find any current guide (that works) in terms of how to get rid of the tooltips and infotips for Windows 7 (e.g. When you hover over Start, a small box appears that says "Start" or when you hover over the top right X, a small box appears that says "Close".). I find the tips highly annoying and was wondering if there was a way to get rid of all Windows 7 tooltips and infotips on my computer. If so, how do you do it?

IE9 AND 8 has been causing problems on my PC with regards to Adobe Flash player.So I now use Chrome and have no problems with flash player, but when I try to view records in family tree maker software it try's to open widows with IE not Chrome, although Chrome is set as default.It then asks to install flash player again. So I wondered if it is possible to disable IE.

I have Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP in windowed (not full-screen) mode.
One of the custom applications that I run in the Virtual PC makes heavy use of F1 key, however every time I press it, in addition to that program's functionality "Windows Virtual PC" help comes up as well!
Is there any way to disable the help or make it so that F1 pressed inside virtual PC does not call it ?

I have a Dell laptop model 1720. I have tried every suggestion made by numerous posts to google but I'm unable to disable my touch pad. Nothing seems to work. Dell had told me the only way to do this would be to return to factory settings. I originally purchased my computer with Vista and recently upgraded to Windows 7. With Vista, disabling the touchpad only required entering a check in a box. Now that I have Windows 7 the options are different. 'Touch Pad Pal' doesn't work at all.

I recently just upgraded my MBP with an OCZ Agility 3. Nice little SSD with some nice speeds. At the same time, I also upgraded my RAM to 2xDDR3 4GB chips. The thing's quite the beast for a little MBP.Anyway, I've been hearing that you have to disable indexing whenever your running Windows on an SSD. Is this true? Something about how the SSD's speeds are so fast that you can do without it. I have not a clue and that's why I'm moving the the SF community.

Right, Im up and running with windows 7 64 bit and it is the best day of my life! But on the icon tray on the bottom right there is like a little flag like icon in which when i click it, it shows me problems, The problem consists of the away mode system and when I click the link it brings up this...Address a problem with Away Mode SystemThis problem was caused by a compatibility issue between your computer's Away Mode System and your 64-bit version of Windows. The Away Mode System is only compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows. This problem is not critical, but you can prevent it from occurring again by disabling the Away Mode System in your computer's BIOS. Refer to the instructions that came with your computer that explain how to access the BIOS and turn off Away Mode System support.

I'm using Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter for ICS across my laptop and phone. But I don't find a way to disable the default DHCP&DNS available with ICS.
I'll runn Dual Server DHCP&DNS () on my own. Which will get me better control over the DHCP leases and all DNS forwarings along with the full log. For this I need to shutdown the default one. It is possible, because Connectify does the same.

dw20.exe is slowing down my pc in an unbelieavable way. I've read that, in order to disable it, I ishould modofy the following registry entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftPCHealthErrorReportingDW
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftPCHealthErrorReportingDW
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftPCHealthErrorReportingDW
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftPCHealthErrorReportingDW
The problem is.. I cannot seem to find them. I've also read I could disable the "Microsoft Application Error Reporting" in "Services and Applications", but i cannot find tha either (maybe I'm missing it, since I'e got an italian copy of WIndpows 7 Pro 64bit).

I have this small but highly annoying problem on Windows 7 64 bit. Alt + space focuses on the menu bar of a program when I don't want to.I'm an audio engineer that uses my home laptop to edit audio and video with programs like Sony Vegas and Cakewalk Sonar. These programs rely heavily on the Alt commands for quick zooming and other functions, and the spacebar is the de facto key for play and pause.However, I find myself often hitting Alt + scroll wheel to zoom out of tracks horizontally (since Ctrl + scroll scrolls vertically and Shift + scroll scrolls horizontally) and then immediately hitting the spacebar to play, only to find that Windows interprets this as Alt + space and automatically jumps me to the file menu of the program, disrupting whatever I was doing. Remapping Alt for all the various functions in the programs would be inconvenient and very challenging.Apparently, the gods at Microsoft have tried their hardest to make it impossible to prevent Alt + space (or Alt + anything) from opening the file menu, and I mean it is IMPOSSIBLE to remap this shortcut. I've searched everywhere, used AutoHotKey and key remappers, but nothing can change this shortcut without disabling the Alt key altogether.
