Description
Defines the starting time for the User Environment Countdown Timer. This timer determines how long the system waits for a user response before it uses a default value. The value of this entry is used when either of the following occurs:
The system detects a slow link between the client and the server that stores the client's profile.
The system cannot access or update a server-based profile when the user logs on or off.
This entry does not exist in the registry by default. You can add it by using the registry editor Regedit.exe.
Notes
The value of this entry can be overridden by a Group Policy setting. If your system does not respond as expected, the Timeout for dialog boxes Group Policy setting 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.
