Systray objects

Hello. I was wondering if anyone can tell me please why for a couple of days
now when I Place my pointer on the objects in the systray it does not say
what they are. Eventhough I can click and open them. Thanks!

It's called "Hover Text"

Did you install anything new or make any alterations before this happened?

If not AND it's only happened in the past few days, you could try running
System Restore (Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools \ System
Restore) and roll-back to the last time/date that the 'hover text' showed.

Mart, thanks for the education (i.e Hover text)! Spyware guard was installed
and by removing it corrected the issue. It seemed to be a nice utility
sitting there quietly. At any rate removing it did the trick. I thank you
for replying!

Well done for finding the real culprit.

BTW - Hover Text AKA ToolTips

FYI - "How to Change Hover Text for a Program Shortcut"
