On my system, hover text disappears automatically after about 5
seconds. Is it possible to extend this period and if so, how?

Any guidance much appreciated.

You don't say what system you are running. In XP the 'tool tips' stay
indefinitely. This feature can be switched on or off using a freeware
program called Xteq, but the duration cannot be altered. Download Xteq from

http://www.xteq.com/products/

and try it with your system. Look in the 'interface' options

Xteq URL Bandit
Xteq PackX
Xteq COM Register Extension
Xteq X-Shooter
Xteq RAM Alloc
Xteq X-Find
Xteq Helpy

Which one do I need to achieve what I want?

Which description fits what you want the program to do?

You need Xteq setup.
From the intro screen choose 'default ui power users'

Choose 'Appearance' then 'interface' then 'tool tips/balloon tips' then
'tool tips'
Under XP all I get are on and off. See what you get

Don't be so patronising. I made a mistake. It happens. Get over it.
