I remember getting rid of these help boxes before, but can't seem to find the way to do it. Every time you mouse over a search box, or any icon on the toolbar, a box pops up to tell you what it is. I know what everything is, and am tired of them. I am pretty good with computers most times, but this one has got me. I already went to internet options and help on the toolbar. Please help! I am running Windows XP, if that matters.
