Remote Assitance - Increasing Maximum Expiration Days for Invitation

[Mike Schumann]

In Windows XP, by default the maximum time you can set a Remote Assistance
request to remain open is 30 days. Is there any way to extend this, or even
make it unlimited?

Thanks,

You can extend the timeout to a maximum of 99 days. See this page for help
doing that using a group policy for XP Pro and a registry hack for XP

I tired changing the registry settings on the Windows XP Home machine, but I
still have a 30 day maximum. Any other suggestions?

Nope...That worked the last time I ran it on an XP Home box but that was a
couple of years ago. It certainly works on my XP Pro SP2 machines...
