<\/p>\nToolTipFixer is a patch (of sorts) by NeoSmart Technologies created to permanently fix one of Windows’ most annoying & oldest bugs to date. The “hidden tooltip” bug has been around since the days of Windows 95, and became progressively worse with each Windows Upgrade \u2013 until Windows Vista, where it only appears from time to time; but it is still there nevertheless. If you are experiencing tooltips hidden behind the taskbar, then this is for you. <\/p>\n
If your tooltips are appearing the toolbar, then ToolTipFixer is what you need.<\/p>\n
They say a picture is worth a thousand words – but if the first picture is worth a thousand, then the second is priceless:<\/p>\n

As you can see \u2013 no bug! Best of all, this patch (unlike some of other “fixes” floating around the web) really works, only needs to be installed\/run once (whereas other patches have you running it\u00a0every time<\/em>\u00a0you experience this problem), never gets in your way, can be safely & easily uninstalled, and best of all, it’s free.<\/p>\n Other solutions floating around the net all have a couple (or more) drawbacks, here’s how TTF is different:<\/p>\n This bug has been around since the very first day Microsoft invented “the shell” with explorer.exe, the taskbar, and the concept of a tooltip – with Windows 95. In 2006, Microsoft\u00a0finally admitted<\/a>\u00a0that this bug exists in Windows XP… But their “solution”?<\/p>\n To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:<\/p>\n Gee! How helpful!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I just wanted to say thanks for the ToolTipFixer. It is AMAZING. Something so simple (and stupid) has bugged me for years and years. It was so random with no rhyme or reason, it drove me crazy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2014 J. Whitworth<\/p>\n As with all other NeoSmart projects\/services, NST ToolTipFixer is 100% absolutely free. If you found this patch that Microsoft refused to bother with all these years to be useful, how about showing\u00a0a token of your appreciation?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ToolTipFixer is a patch (of sorts) by NeoSmart Technologies created to permanently fix one of Windows’ most annoying & oldest bugs to date.
