Thanks CookieRevised.
I think there are options which require a lot of more technical knowledge, but everybody knows, what does this setting mean. If I have unlimited internet connection I would like to be able to check every minute, If I have 14.4kbps data-payed link then I set it ... to every two minutes.
But I don't see any reason why this setting should be limited either by minimum or maximum.
Yes, registry setting would be fine for me as well.
