Almost all of my Windows .hlp files have vanished away - possibly some
caught-too-late virus ate them? Of course, it's been so long since I've
needed my Windows2000 discs that I can't find the darned things to reinstall
the help files from there. I've looked on the 'net - specifically MSN,
before I widened my search - for a place to download replacements, but no joy.

Do you have any help or suggestions?

Thanks!
