No one else seems to have this problem, it only exists on my accounts no matter if I use another PC...

There are other SL users in my hosehold, this problem is not on their accounts.

The problem is...

On my SL start up screen, and inworld: Any tab or button, any inventory item, any folder I mouseover my pointer dispalys a textbox with the web design info in it.

Some examples:

Communicatebutton: /panel_toolbar.xml/toolbar_stack/auto_panel/communicate_btn/Communicate
An inventory item: /floater_inventory.xml/inventory filter tabs/Allitem/Inventory Scroller//My Inventory/Notecards/Little Mos Eisley Combat Rules 5/10/2008

It makes it really hard to see what I am clicking on until it fades.

I am thinking there is either some bug that is plaguing only me, some setting I have to turn off (not likely or other people would know), or I have been given privaleges with Lindens regarding the building of the SL sight (Yay! Bad choice, but Yay!)

Does anybody out there know how to turn these stupid mouse-over-widget things off?
Does anybody even understand my question?

This is a debug setting, I'll report back with the exact location. Unless someone beats me to it.

Try CONTROL + SHIFT + T

That will get rid of it for you (I think)

Advanced >> UI >> Show Name Tooltips

To get the "Advanced" menu press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-D

Edit in response to IBME: Also note there is no keyboard shortcut associated with this option.

No need for the advanced menu.

Go to View, Hover Tips

From there you can choose
- Show Tips (Shortcut: Ctrl-Shift-T)
- Land Tips (Shows parcel name and owner when you hover over ground)
- Tips on All Objects (Displays details for all objects, even those that aren't "interesting" [clickable/for sale etc])
