WARNING:  Always back up the registry files before editing the registry.  Refer to Microsoft documentation on how to properly complete a registry backup for your operating system.  The backup may be needed to recover the operating system if changes to the registry adversely affect it.  Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

A) On a single node:

1. Using remote Registry edit ("Regedit" directly at the agent machine) find the registry key "HKLM\Software\RemotelyAnywhere\RAGuiConfirmationTimeout".

2. Set this value to the number of seconds that you wish the user to be displayed the confirmation dialog box.

3. Close the regedit utility.

B) On all or multiple nodes:

1. Perform a NetWizard recording (NPR32.EXE) of the steps above.

2. Generate a package from that recording.

3. Send the package to all/selected agents.
