I need to add a registry key for Internet Explorer, to set a time-out
duration of 8 minutes.

I know where and how to enter the ReceiveTimeout key, but I don't know how
to properly enter the value data to accomplish the 8 minute time-out. I
have read my Windows XP and Vista manuals, but can't find any specific help.
Also, I have read a bunch of internet material, but still no luck.

My thoughts as to the entry for the DWORD value are as follows:

(<480>*1000) - including the parentheses
or
480000(<480>*1000) - including the parentheses

Which would be correct? One of the above or something else? What is your
suggestion?

Thanks.............................................Bob Jones

Hi Bob,

I hope you are well.

The entry for your DWORD registry value will be miliseconds...

so, for 1 minute it would be 60000

for 2 minutes - 120000
for 5 minutes - 300000
...
for 8 minutes - 480000

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jon
