    When the file is located on the local computer, the ToolTip may display the following categories:

    File type
    Author
    Title
    Subject
    Date modified
    Size

    When the same file is viewed from a remote computer, the ToolTip displays only the file type, the file size, and the date modified categories.

    Follow these steps :

    1. Start Regedit.exe and navigate to the following location:
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

    2. Backup the key by exporting it as a REG file.

    3. In the right-pane, double-click QuickTip and set it's value to the following:
      prop:Type;DocAuthor;DocTitle;DocSubject;DocComments;Write;Size

    4. Close Regedit and restart Windows.


    Note that the default value for QuickTip is prop:Type;Size;Write (Fetches only the Document type, size and last modified date & time)
