Confused about ForegroundLockTimeout

[Todd and Margo Chester]

Hi All,

I am trying to fix a problem (a fax dialog does not pop forward)
that this link is suppose to help:

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/540/

In the link it states that

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value
named 'ForegroundLockTimeout', change the value to
either the timeout required, or to '0' which causes
the application to take the focus instantly. The default
value is '200000' (0x00030d40 hex).

Which confuses me.

1) Is the count in seconds? (Default = 200,000 seconds or
or 55 hours. This would explain a lot things!)

2) I am tempted to set it to zero for instant pop
forward. Would you set it to something else and why?

1.) The value in decimal is 200000 milliseconds
2.) Yes, try setting it to 0 (zero)
