If a hacker has already had my password for 30 days I don't think changing
it would do a lot of good.
Therefore, what is the purpose of this? I can't see how it contributes to
security in any way. In fact it may reduce security, by forcing the use of
simple passwords.

I'd like to change that to every 30 days, but I can't remember where
to set it. I tried "User Accounts" in control panel, but that seems
to cover only very basic settings.
Can someone remind me, please: where do I tell Windows how often
users are required to change their passwords?
