MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / November 2005Outlook 2003 and Registry
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. Sumer Yamaner How do you know Outlook is doing this?

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. > How do you know Outlook is doing this? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > | > | Sumer Yamaner 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.

The reason that I ask is that I can't duplicate. Also Microsoft has it published that the default value for this setting is 200000 (or 0x30d40). By the way, rather than start Outlook and look. I've found that the freeware tool of Regmon (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html) is much better to zero in on what might be accessing/changing registry values. /neo PS - don't forget to look at addins to Outlook. > Hi, > Outlook 2003 keeps changing the registry key [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Sumer Yamaner Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have already checked the addins to Outlook and there are no strange ones. I am downloading the application now and will try it. Thanks again. > Do you have any other programs installed that might be responsible for > this behavior? The reason that I ask is that I can't duplicate.
