thanks for your reply Wesley...

however help is working in the Microsoft Help Centre, however the Help file
does not for standalone programs on my computer such as Simply Accounting,
Spybot, Zoombrowser etc. When I click the Help file, I get a "Internet
explorer was unable to link" error.

Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.

Help!!!!...thanks,

Tony
