type hcp:// followed by the path and file name in the Address box of
Microsoft Internet Explorer, and then click Open or Go.

HCP Protocol is usually for Help stuff.

Although I believe recent Critical Updates may have disabled the HCP
Protocol.

[[What causes the vulnerability?
The vulnerability results because of an unchecked buffer in file associated
with the HCP protocol which is owned by the Help and Support Center.

What is the Help and Support Center?
Help and Support Center (HSC) is a feature in Windows that provides help on
a variety of topics. For instance, HSC enables users to learn about Windows
features, download and install software updates, determine whether a
particular hardware device is compatible with Windows, get assistance from
Microsoft, and so forth.

Users and programs can execute URL links to Help and Support Center by using
the "hcp://" prefix in a URL link instead of "http://".

What is the HCP protocol?
Similar to the HTTP protocol which is used to execute URL links to open a
web browser, the HCP protocol can be used to execute URL links to open the
Help and Support Center feature.

What's wrong with the HCP protocol?
There is an unchecked buffer in an associated file used by the HCP protocol.
This file is used by the Help and Support Center feature and is invoked
automatically when HSC is launched.]]

[[Impact of Workaround: Deregistering the HCP protocol will break all local,
legitimate help links that use hcp://. For example links in the Control
Panel may no longer function.]]

Using Google, I have found some hcp://commands

As you the browser will run the commands. Also you run them using
Start
run
type in the command.

Some of the commands below may not work

e. Hcp commands
i. hcp://system/HomePage.htm
ii. hcp://system/sysinfo/sysInfoLaunch.htm
iii. hcp://system/netdiag/dglogs.htm
iv. hcp://system/compatctr/compatmode.htm
v. hcp://help/tshoot/tsmodem.htm
vi. hcp://help/tshoot/tsprint.htm
vii. hcp://help/tshoot/tssound.htm
viii. hcp://help/tshoot/tsics.htm
ix. hcp://help/tshoot/ts_dvd.htm
x. hcp://help/tshoot/tsdisp.htm
xi. hcp://help/tshoot00/w0safemode.htm
xii. start, run. Helpctr
xiii. hcp://system/panels/AdvSearch.htm
xiv. hcp://system/sysinfo/RSoP.htm
xv. hcp://system/sysinfo/sysConfigLaunch.htm
xvi.
hcp://CN=Microsoft%20Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US/Remote%20Assistance/Escalation/Unsolicited/unsolicitedrcui.htm
"remote Assistance"
xvii. hcp://system/sysinfo/sysConfigLaunch.htm

David,

You can also open .chm files from the Run command by typing or pasting...

hh ntcmds.chm

Open to a specific page/article...

hh ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm

hh ntcmds.chm::/dos_diffs.htm

hh wmplayer.chm

Open to a specific page/article...

hh wmplayer.chm::/htm/player_overview_formats.htm

hh taskbar.chm::/win_tray_start_programs_runcommand.htm

hh is hh.exe (Microsoft® HTML Help Executable)

Hint: You can find the Address (URL) of a Help page/article in Properties.

For example...
Open Help and Support | Type: boot in the Search box | Click the Arrow |
Click on: Require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on |
Right click in the right hand pane of: Require users to press
CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on | Properties | Address (URL) shows:
ms-its:C:\WINDOWS\Help\usercpl.chm::/usercpl_secureboot.htm |
Highlight: usercpl.chm::/usercpl_secureboot.htm | Ctrl + C to copy |
add hh | And you get:

hh usercpl.chm::/usercpl_secureboot.htm

Paste: hh usercpl.chm::/usercpl_secureboot.htm into the Run command and
click OK.

Of course you can navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Help and locate usercpl.chm, double
click it and navigate to Require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before
logging on.

Or just paste C:\WINDOWS\Help\usercpl.chm into the Run command and navigate
to Require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on.

What I like about the hh and hcp commands is you can have someone type or
paste the command into the Run command. That is easier then listing however
many steps that it takes to get there through Help and Support.

For example, pasting: hh usercpl.chm::/usercpl_secureboot.htm into the Run
command is easier and quicker.

Except that some of the hcp commands are too long, i.e.
hcp://system/sysinfo/sysConfigLaunch.htm

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK is easier.
