Download/HomepageFor users of Internet Explorer 4+, InfoTip is a slick little shell
extension that adds configurable file information, in thought-bubble style, to the
standard IE tooltip displays you get when you rest the mouse over a Desktop icon. But it's
even better than that. InfoTip provides information displays to any Desktop icon, not just
My Computer or Recycle Bin. PLUS, InfoTip gives you extended tooltip-type displays for
folders and files out of Windows Explorer and your QuickLaunch Bar too.
You can configure InfoTip's information display options via the File Properties dialog --
you'll notice a new "InfoTip" tab in the Properties window, just click and check
every box you want. You can also add file extensions, and many other options, from Display
Properties dialog.
This app is great for enhancing and customizing the IE4 tips displays --and into exactly
the information you want about each file or folder. You can even read the first few
paragraphs (subject to the InfoTips display size) of any text or HTML filename you rest
the mouse over -- super for getting a quick peek inside, without launching an editor or
advanced file viewer.
InfoTip comes with a installer/uninstaller, takes almost no space, no resources, and adds
time-saving convenience if you want to clean your directories that have become bloated
with Mystery Files. It's free, and the author encourages users to email with questions and
comments. The author also permits this app to be reproduced and distributed, just email
him with advance notice: Norio Nomura, at norio@na.rim.or.jp
