Note that tripling the Timeout for Sessions is going to increase memory use
on the server for every user on your site. Chances are, this (tripling the
Timeout value) is the wrong solution to a problem you haven't mentioned.

If I set Session.Timeout = 60 in Page_Load function of in the script section
of the HTML page - I still get default of 20 minutes always.  How can I
ensure a session timeout of 60 minutes and not the default of 20 minutes.
Also, 20 minutes for the other web pages is ok, but for my main page - I
want this to be 60 minutes.
