  1. Remove hovering text for Taskbar apps


    Hi all,


    How do I remove the text box when you hover over an app?


    I do a lot with Excel and Google sheets.

    Often when accessing tabs, the hovering text is triggered.

    The text hovers over their tabs and is slow to disappear, it costs time and causes frustration.


    It also just happens often when I just want to slide my mouse pointer 'out of the way'.


    See picture for example.

    Is there a way to eliminate / delay this hovering text in the taskbar?

    Hide the safely remove icon - don't show it on the taskbar.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I should have been more specific - I don't want to see the hovering text for any of the taskbar icons in the lower right taskbar area. The text pops up and gets in the way on all the icons, not just the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon.

    This hovering text is very annoying:

    I understand the hovering text describes what your mouse pointer is actually hovering over; but if the pointer is locked into the hovering text field by the slightest accidental movement of the mouse, the actual click you make doesn't trigger the icons action, it triggers the selection within the next available actions of the icon.

    The hovering text wouldn't be a problem if it had a delay of say five seconds; but the hovering text field shows up immediately as soon as the pointer hits the icon, making it near impossible to accurately use a right mouse click action to use the next available fields of actions produced by a right click.

    I have come across this:

    Go to Start > Run (Winkey+R) and type regedit, press enter
    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced
    Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named ExtendedUIHoverTime
    Double-click ExtendedUIHoverTime and select Decimal
    Enter a value in milliseconds (1 s = 1000 ms) that will “delay” the popup
    Restart computer

    However, it doesn't work because the article was from 2014.

    Any other ideas I can try?
