What is the tool?

NaBOK is a small text message that appears when the mouse cursor floats via the toolbar icon in the software program. The description is usually a reminder of what the tool does. For example, in Microsoft ™ Word ™, the mouse cursor launched via the scissor icon on the top toolbar creates a "cut" description, while passing the box icon, producing "Paste". The descriptions are useful if the program is new because they help to acquaint users with shortcuts on the toolbar.

The tools are also used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to help explain the controls. This is commonly found in gaming interfaces and virtual music or videos. Rolling the cursor via each check reveals what the control is doing.

Another place where you can see the description is on the web. Images may have an accompanying text box that could say "click here for a larger picture" or in some cases the tool tool can provide the viewer information about the image.

In most cases, the “Preference” configuration menu or the “Options” of the Software Program will include a control for description deactivation. The control can always be re -enabled later if the tools are omitted.

In the case of Windows operating systems, it is necessary to adjust the register to deactivate the labels. You can find instructions on any search engine. For those who are reluctant to modify the registry, you can find simple improvement programs to make the necessary change.
