You know, when you come to strangers, state something as fact, and the
stranger (me) asks to know how you know this (as would any other reasonable
person) and gets an answer such as yours, my immediate response is, go
figure it out for yourself.
If you can't be bothered to answer a civil question with a civil response, I
can't be bothered to volunteer my time to research an answer for you.

| It is interesting...
| During the last few weeks I have asked some questions in these
| newsgroups and all I got was "how do you know this, why do you want
| to change this, why are you bothering about this, etc."
| Regarding your question:
| There are some ways to do this. You can make a list of the suspected
| programs and check the registry before and after the launch of these
| programs one after another.
| I am SURE that Outlook 2003 is responsible.
| I manually reset the registry value. Wait a couple of minutes and
| check that it is set to "0". Then I launch Outlook 2003 and recheck
| the registry value to see that it has been changed.
| So... I think this is an adequate explanation. Now, if you have a
| suggestion I would be glad to hear about it.
| Thanks.

||
||| Hi,
||| Outlook 2003 keeps changing the registry key
||| HKCU\ControlPanel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout to 0x12fb84. After I
||| manually reset this value to 0 and restart Outlook, the key is being
||| changed to 0x12fb84 again. How can I prevent this behaviour?
||| Thanks.
