  2. Tooltips in taskbar list

    I have the Windows setting to Always Combine buttons; when I click on a taskbar button it displays a list with the titles of the open windows (I have the registry setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband\NumThumnails DWORD (32 bit) (REG_DWORD) with value 0)

    so that makes it a list rather than the preview, which is what I want, now the problem is when the list is displayed and I hover with the mouse over an item (or if I do Win+number, repeatedly to cycle through the items), there is this tooltip that shows up, in case the title is on the bigger side and doesn't fit on width, that shows the entire text of the title over several lines. I hate this thing because it obscures the other items in the list.

    Would there be any way to turn these tooltips off?

    Note I'm not asking to turn off the tooltips that show when you hover over the taskbar button - but when you hover over an item in the list.

    Alternatively, is there any way to make the list wider so that longer items fit in it, and that way, the tooltips won't show anymore (I noticed they don't show when I hover over a list item that short - shorter than the overall list width)?

    Thanks a bunch!

    How can i disable TASKBAR tooltips? NOT EXPLORER WINDOWS!

    I am annoyed at the taskbar tooltips. I pinned things there, i know what it is, stop reminding me.

    What makes it worse is that you can hover over it for a fraction of a second, but it displays the title for four seconds.

    You see, i am using a modeling software that has important buttons righ tin the area that those tooltips cover up and i am going absolutely mental over the fact that i can not turn those annoying things off and i do not want to move my taskbar just because
    of those damn name tags popping up.

    This is what i am talking about:


    How to disable taskbar tooltip? 9c9542c1-743b-4d9c-b01c-c911f29403e7?upload=true.gif


    Before you say anything about "set registry key "ShowInfoTip" to 0". That disables everything BUT THE TASKBAR!

    I have seen someone else ask this question here, where the person also specifically stated that it must be for the taskbar, but the "chosen answer" was not the answer to the question that was asked.

    So does someone know how to disable tooltips for the TASKBAR? I repeat, TASKBAR, not explorer windows. i got those turned off,but the TASKBAR ones stayed on.

    Cheers.

    Thank you for sharing the screenshot. The ids_systray tooltip is a Windows system process that manages the system tray icon. You don't need to worry about your personal files and configuration, this is a normal background process. You can hide it
    from the notification area by disabling it in Taskbar Settings.

    • Click the Start button.
    • Type Taskbar settings. and then press
      Enter
      .
    • Scroll down to Notification area.
    • Click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
    • Disable ids_systray tooltip.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
