Re: Problem opening CHM files

[Santo Spinali <santo -at- coreco -dot- com>]

Microsoft has increased default security since chm files may contain evil
things.
These Microsoft KB articles address the issues.

I've tweaked my registry settings to relax security for the internal
network.
Copy the text below to a file with a reg extension and run it to modify
your registry.
Feel free to have your IT folks review this first. Let us know what they
don't like.

A recent Windows XP update has made it difficult, if not impossible, to
open CHM files across a network. I started encountering this right after
the update and then saw a mention of it in some list, perhaps even this
one.

Our IT department is still trying to figure out how to fix it.

I don't know what this means for companies distributing CHMs on a network.
