Pointing mouse over an icon does not show its location!

Hi!
I just recently re-installed Windows XP on my PC & im havin a little bug.
When you point the mouse over any file or folder, it shows where that file or folder is
located, e.g...Point over Firefox Icon & it shows something like...

Location C:/Program Files/Mozilla...

But when i do the same...it does not show the location of that Icon!
Its REALLY annoying me.....CARE TO HELP ANYONE????

Thanks,

After opening any Windows folder go to Tools > Folder Options > View tab. Scroll down to the bottom and make sure the "Show pop-up description for folder or desktop items" is checked.
