I seem to have lost the facility that pops up information of files and
folders when I hover the mouse cursor over them in a Windows folder.
Could someone remind me where it's set please?

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS
In the View tab, enable these two options:

[] Display file size information in folder tips
[] Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items

Click Apply, OK.

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced=
Value Name: EnableBalloonTips
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: [0 = disabled, 1 = enabled]

Also look for the Policies
