Yes, I tested it but it does not work; it would be interesting to see if
other winxp users have tried it out.

I looked into FaxDlg.cpp and saw the
SPI_GETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT/SPI_SETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT
that should do what the registry hack does automatically.

However, there are 2 issues:
1) the SPI_* is in DoModal and I don't see it called in OnInitDialog() (I
assume that is the point when the window is displayed?).
2) There are some posts suggesting SPI_* is not sufficient to overcome all
the restrictions detailed in the sdk; they talk about another method
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Platforms/Win_Prog/Q_10292714.html
has links to deja/google for some code that uses AttachThreadInput; however
some other places say that AttachThreadInput does not work anymore and the
only way is SPI_.
