1. Session variables shouldn't be timing out when you close the browser, unless you've added code to do so, a la the 'Closing sessions on browser close' tutorial at: http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=tutorials.detail 2. You can *specify* the timeout in your CFAPPLICATION tag: <cfapplication name="appName" sessionmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 1, 0, 0)#"> This sets the timeout to 1 hour. However, while what you put in CFAPPLICATION *will* override the "default session timeout" set on the server via CF Admin, it *won't* override the "maximum session timeout" set on the server - if you've no control over the server, you're stuck with what that is set at (on install, usually 20 mins). 3. If you want sessions to persist indefinitely (i.e. the "Remember login on this computer") option, you need to look into setting persistent cookies or using client variables. CF client variables can be set as cookies, but they can also be stored in the server registry or in a datasource, and bound to a particular client via the CFID/CFTOKEN cookies that are automatically set by the server on the client browser when you've got the CFAPPLICATION tag set right (check documentation!).
