This entry can be superceded by a policy included in Windows 2000. While the Set timer resolution Group Policy is enabled, the system ignores this entry. The setting of the Set timer resolution policy is stored in the value of TimerResolution (Policies subkey).
Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
