Internet Explorer 7 (IE) Admin cookie Session Length / Expire
I am getting logged out of the BVCommerce 5 Admin area every 20 minutes or so. Example: The session times out about every 20 minutes or so. Is there a way to increase the session time? I will be doing a long HTML update and then I hit save and the system asks me to login again ... Updates are lost and I have to start from scratch. I am losing some of my work and also having to login way to frequently. How can I change this session cookie setting?
When I work in Mozilla Foxfire the session never timesout / expires.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I am going to try the below.... I have been using the default Admin account in BVC5.
_____
As a security precaution, the "Remember Me" feature does not work with the built-in administrator account. It does work with any other administrator account, so if you want to stay logged in...
1. Create a new adminstrator account.
2. Log out of the built-in adminstrator account.
3. Log in to the front of the store using your new administrator account and select Remember Me.
After this, your session will still be dropped after 20 minutes (or for any of the other dozens of reasons that sessions are dropped), but you will automatically be logged back in when you click on something.
Note: This is a pretty high security risk if your workstation is not physically protected.

FYI, The above solution resolved the issue for me.
1. Create a new adminstrator account.
2. Log out of the built-in adminstrator account.
3. Log in to the front of the store using your new administrator account and select Remember Me.
This solution works!
