Cannot view content of .chm file in network folder

[Guest]

Dear All,

I don't know if it is related to the latest IE update. Recently, I found
out that I cannot read the content of a .chm file on a network folder.

However, when I placed this file on the local hard disk, the content can
be displayed and everything is alright. On the network folder, only the index
and book on the left hand side can be viewed but the content is blank or with
an error page.

Any solution for this?

Thanks.

Geossl,

What's the Operating System you're using, and the Service Pack level of your
system?

This is caused by the security update KB896358 (MS05-026: A
vulnerability in HTML Help could allow remote code execution)

Importing the following registry file will solve the problem as long
as your network drive is defined as "Local intranet zone" (it should
be).

The setting above will Local Machine zone, Local intranet zone, and
Trusted sites zone.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000002
