How to use the UrlAllowlist entry to enable specific URLs

IMO, the easiest way is to open the Registry Editor (Start/Run and type Regedit.exe) and add/modify the values.

Click Start, Run and type regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions

Note that the "HHRestrictions" key may not exist by default. So you need to create the key(s) accordingly. To create a new key, go to the parent key, from the Edit menu, click New - Key. Name the newly correctly.

In the right pane of the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions

Create a new value (of type REG_SZ String) named "UrlAllowList"

Double-click "UrlAllowList" and type in the list of servers delimited by a semi-colon.

Example:

\\productmanuals\helpfiles;http://www.wingtiptoys.com/help/

Exit the Registry Editor.

Hi I have an article from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892675/ and am a
hesitant to try Example 1: Use the UrlAllowList entry to enable specific URLs.
I'd prefer a step by step example to ensure I do it right.
I am not confident to try it without more details.
