A. In Windows 2000 when you move the cursor over an icon (such as My Network Places or My Computer) text is displayed explaining the icons use.
This text is stored in a registry entry InfoTip of type String for each CLSID entry and can be changed to any text you want.
For example to change the My Network Places text:

- Double click InfoTip and change. Click OK
