I would like disabling the mouse side popup that gives file or folder preview

In Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View
Uncheck the second box, and the second to last box.

Download and run "X-Setup" (free). Just be careful, you can do amazing things to Windows with this program - you can also really screw Windows up! Appearence > Files Tooltips > Any File Attributes in Tooltips > uncheck the box: Enable attributes visible in tooltips. You can also get rid of those stupid "arrows" on the icons on the desktop! Shortcuts > Arrows > uncheck all the boxes. Any other changes, do one at a time so you know what to change back!
