3. Browse to the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Advanced” registry key.
4. On the right pane, click the “ShowInfo Tip” registry key.
5. Click “Edit –> Modify“.
6. Change the value to “0” in the “Value data” field.
7. Close the registry editor window and reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
