Disabling links
When I point to link ( image or text) a letterbox shows with the url address. It's annoying and can cover over other items on the page. I want to disable this function. My OS is windows xp and I use explorer and usually opera.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks !

It makes sense. Try changing this setting first off:
Control Panel | Folder Options | View
scroll way down, and un-tick the Show pop-up description

Sorry Jephree, this didn't work. For example when i put the cursor over your image
this site's address appears. thanks

I found this for Opera:
In Advanced Preferences -> Browsing, disable Show tooltips.

Excellent. Absolutely worked for Opera. Not for I.E. but that's ok. my default browser is Opera. Thanks so much. At least now I know what it's called and can try to figure out th IE problem
