CHM files on network

[Guest]

Hi all!

This isn’t exactly the first post on this subject but I can get this to work


I’ve followed the solutions but with no luck.

My chm files are placed in the share dok$ on the server called server1 in
the subdirectory Dok1.

This is my registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000004
"UrlAllowList"=\\\\server1\\dok$\\;file://\\\\server1\\dok$

(it’s a export hence the “\\\\â€)
As far as I understand the first row should by itself make the problem
disappear!?

Regards
/Jens

The problem being that the right pane only shows "Action cancelled" when the
file isn't placed on a local drive.

Hi,

Deploying the setting in the registry file listed below will solve
the problem as long as your network drive or UNC path is defined as
"Local intranet zone" (it should be).

To see what zone you have for the path, in Explorer, select
"Status Bar" under the View menu and then go to the folder where the
help files are located. If it says "Internet" in the Status bar, you
will need to add your domain or server to the "Local intranet zone".

REGEDIT4

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

--------------------8<----------------------

The setting above will open up for Local Machine zone, Local intranet
zone, and Trusted sites zone, but *not* the Internet zone.

Hi again,

Yes when browsing the folder of the chm-file the status bar says “Local
intranet zone†I even tried adding the path as a trusted site… No luck

Did I misunderstand the role of MaxAllowedZone, isn’t 4 suppose to mean that
regardless of where the chm-files are located they are allowed to run?

Hi Jens,

Remove the URLAllowed entry and just use the MaxAllowedZone with value 1 or 2

Wim

Hi all,

Finally I found the solution… The value was correct but wasn’t in the
correct key

This is the correct path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
MaxAllowedZone=2

Hi all,

Finally I found the solution… The value was correct but wasn't
in the correct key

This is the correct path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
MaxAllowedZone=2

Hi,

And that is exactly the same key as in the reg file I posted
previously in this tread (repeated below).

How very true you are…

Sometimes it’s nice to use an alias
I guess I didn’t look that carefully when the value was the same, me bad.

Thanks for your help
