Execution time error

[Funky Monk]

I have installed Joomla 1.5 on my testing server. When I go to upload a new component by the admin backend I get an error message:

"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\environmental_web_site\libraries\joomla\filesystem\folder.php on line 396"

How can I change the timeout length? After all, it is offline for testing so it doesn't matter how long it takes really.

Thanks in advance.

How can I change the timeout length?

You can adjust this value in "php.ini".
