WinHelp (.hlp) files in Vista

Hi all,

I realised today that Vista does not support .hlp files, the "standard" help file format in previous Windows versions. Just thought I'd post this link for anyone that needs to view these files (not that any of us needs help though right )

Anyway hope this helps someone out there...

Thanks for the contribution.

Nice info dark.

Cheers for the assist

This is true dark!

If you want to view 32-bit .hlp files in Vista you must download WinHlp32.exe:

Actually, it is extreamly useful. Think about it. There are still software developers using the .hlp file ext for there help files.
