In the grand scheme of things, this is minor but its driving me nuts. You know how, when your mouse hovers over an icon in the tool bar, a small tool tips pops up to indicate what the icon does? How can this be disabled? It was somewhat useful for the first 1-1/2 minutes but now its annoying. Help, please.

Hmmmm. It already was unchecked. I checked it again, hit apply, and then unchecked and clicked OK. I still get the pop-ups.

Could something be broke somewhere?
