SYMPTOMS
When you click to clear Display file size information in folder tips under Folder Options, the file size and type are still displayed when you move the pointer over a file.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because this option applies only to folders. When you clear the option, a folder's size and contents are not displayed when you move the pointer over a folder, but this action does not affect display behavior when you move the pointer over an individual file.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To select or clear this option, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
 * 2) Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
 * 3) Click the View tab.
 * 4) Click to select or clear the Display file size information in folder tips option.
