"DESCRIPTION 1"="If you point the mouse-cursor to a file and wait about two seconds, Windows is able to display a little yellow window (ToolTip) that shows some information about that file. This way, you know what the file is about without open it."
"DESCRIPTION 2"="This plug-in allows you to customize those ToolTips or remove them. Just select the file in question and select "Change" to change the ToolTip that should appear, or "Delete" to remove the ToolTip. If the file you want to change does not appear in this list, use the "Add File ToolTip" plug-in."
"DESCRIPTION 3"="You can either define a custom static message like "This is a XQZ file" or let Windows display the document properties for that file: "prop:FileDescription;Company;FileVersion;Create;Size". If the ToolTip starts with "prop:", Windows will display the document properties. Hint: To see the available properties, just right-click a file and select the "Properties" tab."
"DESCRIPTION 4"="NOTE: This plug-in allows you to change the "simple ToolTips" only. Windows does also allow executing a program that displays the ToolTip (for example, WinZIP does this for ZIP, CAB etc. files). Since this procedure varies from program to program, this plug-in will NOT display these non-simple ToolTips and does also NOT allow you to change those ToolTips. "
