For the benefit of anyone else following this thread (since I answered
gocmat's question in another forum), the solution is to use one of the
"Method 2" workarounds described in this Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896054

In other words, it's necessary to set the MaxAllowedZone registry value
to at least 1 so that the block on help files in the Local Intranet
zone is removed.
