Is there some way to alter the time it stays up ?
Also IE seems to give more lines than firefox...is that adjustable too ?
cheers

395064 2005-10-11 00:20:00 I think there is a system setting for the time a "tool tip" appears - it might be in the mouse setup available via control panel > mouse.

As for the length, this is a browser default so you can't adjust the number of characters - IE just likes to do things differently.

Check here for a description
en.wikipedia.org

EDIT: I thought it was a system setting, but I can't seem to find it. It may need a registry tweak... try Googling for "tool tip display time".
