The HTML Help executable "hh.exe" supports the "-decompile <output folder>" (without quotes) parameter that decompiles a .chm file. For example: C:\Winows\hh.exe -decompile c:\testfolder c:\yourfolder\yourfile.chm Sometimes the parameter does not work if the original file structure of the component html files is more than one folder deep.

For .chm files you could use hh.exe, HTML Help Workshop, or KeyTools to decompile each file and recover the source HTML files. HTML Help Workshop: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp KeyTools: http://www.keyworks.net/keytools.htm For .hlp files, you could first decompile each file using HelpDeco, available from: http://www.helpmaster.com/help-developmentaids-helpdeco.htm Then you could load each help project into HTML Help Workshop to create the HTML version.
