Viewing CHM files across the network
====================================

Microsoft recently released a security patch that makes it impossible
to view CHM files that are stored on a network drive (as opposed to CHM
files stored on your own computer). The help file will appear, but
instead of the topic text you will see an error message "this page
cannot be displayed ".

The security patch and its effects are fully described on Microsoft's
web site at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358

If you trust all the computers on your LAN or intranet (and the people
using them), you can lower the restrictions on the Local Intranet zone
to allow CHM files to be displayed with the following steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
If this registry subkey does not exist, create it.
3. Right-click the ItssRestrictions subkey, point to New, and then
click DWORD Value.
4. Type MaxAllowedZone, and then press Enter.
5. Right-click the MaxAllowedZone value, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7. Quit Registry Editor.

If this solution does not work for you, please see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358 for alternatives.

The security update may also prevent you from opening CHM files that
you downloaded from the Internet. To resolve this problem, click to
clear the Always ask before opening this file check box in the Open
File-Security Warning dialog box, and then click Open. Alternatively,
right-click the file that you want to open, click Properties, and then
click Unblock. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902225/ for more
information.

If your customers are having problems accessing your CHM files, you
have the following options:
1. Make them aware of the issues involving the security update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358
2. Make sure your software's installer installs CHM files locally
rather than on the network. Then they will always work.
3. Use the WinHelp format instead of HTML Help (CHM). You can make
this choice in Project Options in HelpScribble. WinHelp HLP files
are not affected by this security issue.
