Hi Abdulaziz, You will need to go to Folder Options , and then the view tab. It is in the advanced settings as in previous versions of Windows. I am not fond of the interface in Windows 8, so I get to Folder Options thru the Control Panel. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Abdulaziz" <abdulaziz.dapi...@gmail.com> To: "JAWS USERS LIST" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2013 7:31 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Disable Desktop pup-up descriptions Hello list members, Earlier this day, I did modified my Default Advance Verbosity setting to let JAWS speak every occurrence of tool tip pop-ups on my system. Hoping that it would make my screen reader read aloud Microsoft Outlook's incoming Mail notifications and other app/system notifications which I suspect to be tool tips pop-ups notifications as well. Fortunately, the method described fulfilled my intention as it pushes JAWS to speak Outlook mail alerts. But I forgot that Desktop icons also display sort of tool tip description that pops-up every time cursor moves focus to a desktop icon. Now, every time I focus to an item with in my desktop I always hear these annoying messages describing certain function/path for a selected desktop icon. If I remember it right, there is an option found somewhere in windows that disables this icon pop-up description. I am pretty sure that I made it before in my win7 under the windows explorer folder options, but now I cant locate the particular setting here in my win8 machine. Is it still here? If yes, can someone help me navigate to the said setting? Thanks in anticipation, your help and interest will be greatly appreciated.
