Hi there
There seems to be some confusion with your seeing the .reg
file and making the association about it working by being present.
Pete basically said what I'm about to say, but said it in a
different way. In the hopes of dispelling some of the confusion
that seems to be here, I'll offer a slightly different explanation.
Files with the .reg extension are normally used to infuse one
or more entries into the Windows registry. This is done by
executing the file as you would an application. The file is present
because someone copied it there for the purpose of modifying the
Windows registry in order to make the help work on that PC. The
file was placed there, as Pete explained earlier, then it was
executed to update the registry. Whomever placed it there just
didn't go the extra step of deleting the file when they were
finished. So the fact you are seeing the file is indicative that
the hack has been used and applied and this is why help is working
on those PCs. So if you have PCs where the help is NOT working, you
would need to copy that .reg file to the problem PCs and run it.
(it's not sufficient to simply have the file being present, as you
seem to be concluding)
Cheers... Rick
