I need to provide more information in my InfoTip than what I am currently able to display (128 chars). I have found the method of changing what information is displayed for a particular type of file, but now I am wondering if the 128 Char limit can be changed? What I am trying to do is create a comment on an RDP File that will help users understand how to use it.

Thanks,

Is this really a XP problem, I'm sorry but I don't fully understand the problem. If you supplied more details someone may at least point you in the right direction, for example to a more appropriate forum.
 
The InfoTip is what displays information when you hover over a file. I had typed up some instructions in the Comments section of the Summary tab on an RDP Shortcut. I had modified the registry to only display the Comment field for RDP shortcuts thinking I would get some extra room. When hovering over the icon, only 128 chars show.

I was wondering if there was any way to increase the number of chars that show up in the bubble so that my users would see the entire set of instructions.
Sorry for not being more clear on that.

Thanks,
Rob
 
Your question is clearer now, this is what I have discovered so far, no real answer, but see if there is anything useful there.
