    HKCU is a common abbreviation for HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    Try just pasting ExtendedUIHoverTime into the finder (F3) it should bring you right to it

    There's no "Explorer" under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\. I searched the whole registry and couldn't find "ExtendedUIHoverTime" anywhere. I'm running Windows 7 RTM.

    I'm not talking about thumbnail previews since I've got Aero turned off. I'm talking about the annoying little box that pops up when I hover over an application in the taskbar. It's just a litte box with the icon and title of the window and since I don't group applications on my taskbar, it's unnecessary and annoying. Any ideas on how to turn these off?
    Do you mean like this?

    I'll settle for removing this type of preview.

    My bad it's HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\

    as my screenshot shows

    but if you searched you should've found it, odd

    Anyone? Does anyone know what the feature is called so maybe I can google it?

    I believe it's called, "pop-up tool tips", or someting to that effect.

    ExtendedUIHoverTime was not in my registry until I added it as noted above by creating a DWORD for it (see screenshot). Unfortunately it seems to have no effect on my system and the pop-ups are still there.

    Has anyone made any progress with this? Is it time to contact Microsoft for a solution?
