Opening CHM files over network

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I have a CHM file that I can open it if I copy it locally to my machine, but
it will not open from a network shared drive. I have full permissions to the
file where it is stored. I am running XP SP2 with all the latest updates.
Do I have to enable something in XP to view CHM files that are on a network?

Create a REG file from the post and in your Login Script execute...

regedit /s RegFileName.reg

That's exactly what I did per the KB instructions, startup script still hangs
like it's waiting for user input. When I run the batch file in the UI, it
executes great, no problems, no waiting for user input. Are startup scripts
like this considered anonymous access to the registry? I do have that
restricted via another GPO.

I haven't read the KB article that is just the way I would go about it.

However, the user running the script would have to have sufficient rights to modify the
Registry.

I don't have specific information in that arena. Sorry :-(

If you copied the registry keys out of the earlier replies, it will not
work as there is an extra space between the 1.x and the \

A corrected version is shown below copy this and save it as hhctl.reg
and apply the file to the registry.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001
"EnableFrameNavigationInSafeMode"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001


This should now work

Hope this is of some help.

That cool !

I must admit that I did not even look into the Registry data. Thanx for updating the thread
with this.
