Note
Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
The value of this entry can be overridden by a policy. If your system does not respond as expected, the Timeout for dialog boxes Group Policy might be in effect. See the ProfileDlgTimeout entry in the Policies subkey.
If you change this value by editing the registry, enter the value in decimal numbers.
