session time

[Jeff]

Question. How would I go about increasing the session time of a user, before
they are logged out for inactivity?

The reason I want to do this, is because players may have the site open,
while actually playing a game. But when they come back to report, they are
no longer logged in, but it appears that they are.

I assign the cookie when they login using the following code:

response.cookies("username") = username
Response.Cookies("username").Expires=#May 1,2020#
But I don't remember writing anything that says how long the session is for.
I think default is 30 minutes?

can someone help?
Thanks
Jeff
