Changing the Information Boxes in IE 4

With IE4, when you place the mouse over My Computer, Network Neighborhood, and the Recycle Bin icons, etc.

a small window opens with some information.

For example, over the My Computer icon, it starts with Use My Computer to view the contents of your computer.

To change this text:

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Search for InfoTip
  3. Enter the text you want to appear for each icon

Items you can change are:

  • Network Neighborhood
  • My Computer
  • Control Panel
  • Printers
  • The Internet
  • My Documents
  • Recycle Bin
  • Briefcase
  • Internet Explorer
  • Dial-Up Networking
