[x2-.49] Mouse-over Popups

[Scot_Free]

When I move the mouse cursor over a file a window pops up giving info about the file.

Is there a way to stop this?

alpha.txt describes how you can change lvsExtendedStyle, this controls the infotips among other things

lvsExtendedStyle LVS_EX_xxx flags for tooltips etc [* 17441]
The easiest way to find the correct value for this is to run 2xExplorer, select the view style you want from View | Options | Usability (gridlines, single click activation etc), quit 2x and read the number from 2xExplorer's registry settings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc\2xExplorer\General Settings\lvsExtendedStyle). Bad-ass programmers can set their preferred extended list view styles from the SDK headers :)

Is that what you mean?

I am not a "Bad-ass programmer" so I still do not know how to disable the mouseover popups.

i thought the tip about using 2xExplorer's value, where you can select such things with the GUI would be helpful

anyway, get in regedit after quitting x2 and deduct the value 1024 (make sure you work in decimal) from whatever value you have in lvsExtendedStyle. Note that there is one such value for each pane

That works.

Thanks.
