Tool Tips for Student Logons

[bandgeekmafia78]

Hi

 

I need a way to enable tool tips for a student logon.... basically so that when the pupil waves the cursor across a folder, it will show them how large the folder is. I cannot find anything in Group Policy that is preventing the pupils from doing this, but for some reason they can't. I have tried editing parts of the registry, and this seems to work for local admin accounts but not for pupil logons.

 

Any Ideas? Is there anything in Group Policy that I'm missing?

 

I know I could use a piece of software to solve this (such as TreeSize Pro) but I don't want pupils having the ability to see the contents of C:\ etc.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

They could try

 

1. Right click

2. Properties

 

Two steps instead of one?

 

Just a thought.

I forgot to mention they have right-click disabled here.

One way - Hold alt, press enter.

 

Registry way to enable
