Help Requested on XP Pro

[Guest mwebsurfer]

I have posted this question twice now with no replies. I did a repair

on my pc and have lost an option under "OPEN WITH" that listed a

"Windows Help Executable" for viewing files such as html and text etc.

Can anyone tell me how to get this option back or what its title is?

I can't find it in help or doing a search. Any advise or help will

be greatly appreciated.

Right click on a file you want to open and go to the Open With menu - at the

bottom is the option to choose the program for this file type. You can

either pick the program from a list or browse to the EXE file. Once you have

done that the application will remain in the Open With list.

You've received no replies because no one has an answer.

 

And even Google doesn't know what "Windows Help Executable" is. That

means that it doesn't exist.

You could try:

 

C:\WINDOWS\winhlp32.exe
