ToolTips do not display complete information about files that are located on a network share


When you move your mouse pointer over a file that is located on a network share, the information that is displayed in the ToolTip may not be complete. For example, when the file is located on the local computer, the ToolTip may display the following categories:


File type
Author
Title
Subject
Date modified Size



When the same file is viewed from a remote computer, the ToolTip displays only the file type, the file size, and the date modified categories.


SOLUTION:


1. Start Regedit.exe and navigate to the following location:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

2. Backup the key by exporting it as a REG file. See here for more information.

3. In the right-pane, double-click QuickTip and set it's value to the following:
prop:Type;DocAuthor;DocTitle;DocSubject;DocComments;Write;Size
4. Close Regedit and restart Windows.
