Any fix to SQL Server Management Studio timing out when Adding a New Column to a Table

A while back I posted the inquiry http://nullpointer.ph/questions/3204/any-fix-to-sql-server-management-studio-timing-out-when-adding-a-new-column-to-a-table

Thanks to Alistair sharing his knowledge. After some research got the following fix

that is, navigating Tools > Options then looking at Designers > Table and Database Designers node you will have Table Options. Override the default value of Transaction time-out after: [____] seconds with your desired length of time.
