W2K3: Opening a chm file from a network location, creating .reg files
-
I want to open a chm file from a network location. Due to a recent ms security path, you can't do it. I was reading the following microsoft article which explains the workaround. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054/ i want to use the solution listed in "Example 1: How to use UrlAllowList to enable specific URLs" The reg file i created is:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "UrlAllowList"="\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7\\;file://\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7"It works if i access the folder via \\beyond15\GASPNet 7\ and then execute the chm, but if i create a network drive (i.e. z:\) with that folder, i can open the file but i get the message action cancelled. any ideas? Thank you very much -- modified at 15:30 Wednesday 21st December, 2005 -

In my opinion, you should try to change the path in your regiedit to the specifi drive that you mapped.

Try to change:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "UrlAllowList"="\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7\\;file://\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7"toREGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "UrlAllowList"="\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7\\;file://z:\"orREGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "UrlAllowList"="z:\;file://\\\\beyond15\\GASPNet 7"orREGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "UrlAllowList"="z:\;file://z:\"I can't guarantee it is working or not but you should try to do the above method first. But make sure to backup the registry key before you do that. -
