MSN tooltips. by Emjaybee on 10-01-2005 at 05:57 AM

Can anyone tell how and if it is possible to turn off the tooltips in MSN. I hate when I'm looking at a contact the stupid white box apprears. "click to see this persons contact card" or "right click to se ehow you can interact with this contact"

Thanks.

only "right click "on the persons name ... as a left click will bring up that box..and then "send message"

No, those are toasts.

Currently there's no option in Plus or Messenger itself to disable them. Nor do I know the feasibility of the issue, but I guess it could be done, just no one has yet.

I just installed Messenger Plus and the first thing I noticed was the tooltip (balloon) that comes up when I hover over something. I'm sure there is a way to disable this in the registry somewhere, as there are the other tooltips in windows. It's so annoying! Has anyone found the registry entry to disable this yet?
