task reminders, set default snooze time

[jeffrey]

in OL07, is there a registry setting (or simpler method), for changing the
default time in snooze for task reminders?

i've looked and searched, but find no reference to this.

I don't believe that can be changed.

The default can't be changed. You don't need to select from the drop down -
just type the time in the field. You can't use shortcuts and will need to
type the full time in (i.e., 2 hours) but its usually faster than selecting
a time.

Brian, Diane, thanks for confirming that i am not allowed to control the

Not being able to change that default from the auto set of 5 minutes turns
into a major pain for people who really rely on reminders. If I have 5
reminders pop up during a phone call (each with a different amount of time
delay before next reminder if I hit the snooze button five times) it would be
ever so helpful to just be able to close the reminder box using the 'x'. But
when I do that, it removes the difference times and turns all of the items
into 5 minute reminders. Who do we talk to about at least getting that time
default set to 15 minutes? Otherwise they all keep popping up during the
phone call. Outlook has so many options that can be customized that this one
