Setting Timeout in Registry

I know that I can set the No timeout for a script by adding the /T:0 to my
cscript.exe command line, but I have a canned piece of software which allows
you to call a script, but does not allow parmeters and it times out.

Is there a registry entry that I can put in that cscript will look at to
turn off timeouts.

Hi Marc,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to find some registry key
which sets the default timeout for cscript.exe. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

I think we can try to create a Timeout: REG DWORD: 0 key under the
following path.

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows Scripting Host\Settings

HTH.

Kevin,
I did try this under local machine, but I'll try it under local user.

Hi Marc,

Then you can try the following link:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings
