How long does the “new” indicator show up next to a task in SharePoint 2010?

Question

When creating a task in SharePoint 2010, the "new" indicator is shown after creating a task. How long is this displayed and is the amount of time it is displayed configurable from the GUI?

Answer 1

By default it is displayed for 2 days. You can override it with STSADM:

If you are using SharePoint 2010, you should also be able to override it using PowerShell.
