http://www.ghacks.net/2008/02/10/customize-windows-explorer-tooltips/ lists a way of changing the tooltips when mousing over a file.
If you want to do anything more advanced like running a custom program on mouseover then you'll probably need to look at either rethinking why you need to do it (suggested), or doing something ugly with hooking mouse messages using e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644988(v=vs.85).aspx
