The following parameter is used by the Windows NT administrative applications:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    \Network\Shared Parameters

Slow Mode REG_SZ String

Stores information about which servers and domains are across a Low Speed Connection. User Manager for Domains, Server Manager, and Event Viewer read this information unless explicitly told whether to start in Low Speed Connection mode. The cache is updated each time one of these applications is started or set to a new, nonlocal focus, or when the user explicitly changes the Low Speed Connection setting. This is an LRU cache of up to 20 focus targets. The first entry is the most recently used.

This is a shared state between users, so if one user changes the cached setting for a target focus, other users get that setting by default. The user must be a member of a group with Power Users or better privileges to have access to this subkey.

Default: "CLOSEDOMAIN;h;FARDOMAIN;l;\\CLOSEMACHINE;h; \\FARMACHINE;1"

Default: 20000 msec
