Thread: pgAdmin, I love it but, hints are driving me crazy.
Hi there, I use pgAdmin-III on MS-Windows XP. I find hints annoying especially in the "View Data Options" in the "Filter" tab but if it is possible, I would like to get rid of them all. The option "Miscellaneous"->"Guru hints"->"Do not show guru hints; I'm one myself" does not seem to do the trick. Any idea? Thanks David Harel

Sorry about the reply all. I use 1.18.1 on an MS XP machine 34 bit. I also had an issue with the mouse cursor theme that placed the tooltip exectly where I intended to write and blocked my writing. I fixed it by replacing the mouse cursor (I think the bad one was "Windows Black (extra large)"). Still I would like to get rid of those tooltips. Thanks for your elaborate reply.

IIRC there's a registry hack in XP that disables *ALL* tooltips across the OS. Might be worth a google.Sorry about the reply all. I use 1.18.1 on an MS XP machine 34 bit.
