Do you mean icons in the quick launch bar? (usually next to the Start button)
You can change the properties. Rt-click->Properties->General tab. Some are downright wordy.
There are also the Windows Explorer tip settings. Some can be changed by tweakui, some not. Use Regedit if you're comfy with it:
There's:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips\Show
Then a bunch in HKEY_CurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\
EnableBalloonTips
FolderContentsInfoTip
ShowInfoTip
StartButtonBalloonTip
Setting each DWORD to zero disables the tip type.
