About the CHM prompt for a workaround for navigation to the Web page (2011-11-09-18:09:41)
Today I wonder why I downloaded a lot of CHM format reference manuals are not open pinch, I did not notice that the previous hit a Microsoft patch will lead to this problem: the most common problems can be solved in the following way:
One: Right-click in CHM to see if there is no unlock option ... It's supposed to be locked.
Two: Because the file is in the path name contains # such characters.
Because the last time Windows XP2 did update, the CHM help file could not be opened .... There's no way to solve it.
Come up today and ask.
Callcall friend to provide me with the method is also unable to solve. Then I went to the official to find out why. Finally found the problem!!
Now share him out, hope to have met the same situation as me friends can help!!
Symptoms
After you install security update 896358 or 890175, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: • Some types of web-based programs may not function correctly. For example, a table of contents in HTML help may no longer work.
• Some HTML help features may not work when you open a. chm file from a remote location. For example, the related Topics feature might not work.
Open CHM after all the contents are not visible ... Just like our common 404 mistakes!
Note: This article contains supplemental information for the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
Vulnerability in 896358 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358/) ms05-026:html help could Allow remote code execution
Vulnerability in 890175 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890175/) ms05-001:html help could Allow code execution
These symptoms are expected to occur after you install these security updates. This section provides some examples of administrators who must re-enable HTML help ActiveX controls for critical business programs. These workarounds may endanger computers, making them more vulnerable to threats that are restrained by the aforementioned security updates. The safest way to do this is to not use a registry workaround. If you must use an alternate method, set the registry value as strictly as possible.
Because the CHM has this loophole!! So after the update will appear like my situation!
Solution:
Paste the following text into a text editor, such as Notepad. The file is then imported into the registry with a. reg file name extension. (Be careful to back up the registry first.)
Code:[copy to CLIPBOARD]REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
"UrlAllowList" = "\\\\productmanuals\\helpfiles;http://www.wingtiptoys.com/help/"
In addition, Microsoft's own website also has a similar description, the URL is HTTP://SUPPORT.MICROSOFT.COM/KB/902225/ZH-CN
It gives the workaround by referencing
