Cursor preview window/box

by smponz Aug 7, 2007 7:43AM PDT

How/where do I turn off the window/box that appears next to my cursor when hover near or on a link? For instance if I move my cursor(with out clicking on) to icons that are in my taskbar you get a box that appears telling what it is. Hope that makes sense.

I have XPpro sp2.
