The tooltips come from the system, so ask Microsoft

I use the Dutch version of WinXP, but I use DOpus in English.
The tooltips for local drives in DOpus are in Dutch BUT the tooltips for CDrom / DVDrom / Removable drives are in English.
Tooltips for removable drives in Windows Explorer are in Dutch...

So, the tooltips for removable drives must come from DOpus, or am I wrong???

Hmm yes you're right. For removeable, fixed and cdrom drives, the tooltips come from the system. For other drives (e.g. network) Opus builds it itself. I think this is legacy behavior from Windows 95 when Windows didn't provide a tooltip for network drives - probably it should be changed to always come from the system these days.
