Display attributes also in file tool tip.

This setting enables you to display the attributes of the file in the tool tip.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

Tool tip is the information displayed about the file on which mouse is placed for few seconds. The information can be either the details, it contains or name of the author, date of creation etc. Therefore, you can have inside information of the file without opening it. All this information and more can be had only from the file properties like Read-Only, System, Hidden and Archive.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, right-click and modify the “Infotip” value to “prop:Attributes;Type;DocAuthor;DocTitle;DocSubject;DocComments;Write;Size”. To revert to the original tool tip set the value to “prop:Type;DocAuthor;DocTitle;DocSubject;DocComments;Write;Size”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.

Note:
This setting applies to simple ToolTips only. Some file types have their own ToolTip provider and thus the attributes will not be visible within the ToolTip.
