We are looking to permanently decrease the sensitivity of an outlook plugin, according the below article the default timers are 1 second, 3 times. I.e. if the add-in doesnt load within 3 seconds then disable it. I know we can control this in the GUI to some extent by setting it to not be monitored for up to 30 days, however we want a longer term solution.

Does anyone know specifically where to set the OutlookActivationAlertThreshold key within the registry? Little is found by Googling, however the article suggests it’s possible. We want to set it to longer than 1 second or for more than 3 itterations.

"Using a group policy or application-specific setting in the Windows registry, administrators can adjust this default threshold value of 1,000 milliseconds in the OutlookActivationAlertThreshold setting."
