No, I did not. I had only cleared the box for "display file size..." Thank
you so much! What a relief.

Did you clear the check box for "Show pop-up description for folder and

Suzanne, when I change the setting that you specified, it only affects
folders, not files, and the annoying yellow boxes still keep popping up
when
I hover over a file. This thing is driving me nuts....

This is a Windows setting, found in Tools | Folder Options in Windows

and
busyness; it seems to take quite a while for me to get the ScreenTip.

When you click "Open" and the list of files appears, how do you turn
off
the
little box that pops up and tells you the file details? It pops up
very
quickly and makes it hard to see what you're looking for.

Thanks for the help.
