Maximum minutes is 30, I tried 60 and it wouldn't allow me. Its easier if you enable "No restart after automatic updates"

No Ivor, I'm sure the maximum minutes is not 30 because I've set my computer to 180 (3 Hours). I don't recommend "No restart after automatic updates" because many people (including myself) prefer to Hibernate instead to Shutdown so I still need the reminder or the updates will not be installed correctly, I just hate it when it's every 10 minutes!

When I type the "gpedit.msc" into the Run field, Windows cannot find that file. Is this configuration available only to XP Pro users and not Home users? :( That nag screen drives me NUTS!!! LOL

As I've mentioned in my tutorial: "This tutorial is not for Windows XP Home Edition"
