What you're talking about is a feature called "Tooltips"...
It's a feature Windows uses pretty heavily, itself, generating a small amount of information for you by floating your cursor over some (a file, an icon, etc.). Same premise in EverQuest...Tooltips within the game usually show the nametag of an item. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to disable the Tooltips, but I may well be wrong...however, it isn't something that's defined in any of the *.ini or *.xml windows.
As far as I know, no, you cannot "get rid of it".
