Hi,

I'm trying to determine what amount of time my STS site is configured to
display the 'New!' icon next to new documents. I've read that by default it
expires at midnight of the day it was posted. I also read that this can be
changed by editing a registry string:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q287523

However, my server does not have the string. Is there anything else that
controls this? Anything else I can look at?

Thanks!

The default STS installation doesn't add the string that is mentioned in the
KB article, and in its absence the default expiry time is applied. You need
to add the string to the registry key to effect a change in the icon's
duration. You should be able to find the key, assuming you are in the
registry of the STS server and not a client machine. I found it on my
machine, except that mine ended in \Port /LM/W3SVC/1: instead of \Port
/LM/W3SVC/:5.

Once you create the string, you can set the value to 0 (don't show "new"
icon at all), or the number of days you want it to show. Entering 3, for
example, shows the icon for 3 days.

As the article states, you can either do this directly via the registry, or
you can use owsadm.exe in a command window, which will add the registry
string for you.
