I get this same verbosity but only if I linger a second over the icon. Doesn't bother me but can't see any way to stop it.

If you have read tooltips set to off, then obviously that is not the problem. I wonder if you have your desktop set so you only use down arrows and all the shortcuts are in a single line? If so, you could switch to listview and you would not get the date/time. That would be under the view pulldown on the ribbon under folder options, if memory serves.

If this is the case, Window-Eyes is reading the text in the pop up tooltips that are displayed on the screen for the selected item. This is the default behavior of Window-Eyes and I have worked with others who prefer to turn this setting off to cut down on the verbosity. Here are the steps to turn this option off: > > 1.
