Thanks Dave,

But I'm using Firefox. Just plain Jane Microsoft operating systems. 
There is a registry setting which can be used to increase the time as 
well, but I've upgrade the OS and never went back and changed it. 
Netscape's (Mozilla) files also have settings in their, however, I've 
never been successful with them. The end user in general is stuck 
with the annoyance message, and I just like first time users to 
understand that particular situation.

Thanks again. Maybe someone here using Firefox will benefit from that info.

Take care,
Bart
