Posted on April 10, 2010 by MidaNo Comments

Starting from windows Vista Microsoft removed the legacy Windows Help .hlp file viewer, winhlp32.exe, also in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, but you can still enable Help file support.

Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) is a Help program that has been included with Microsoft Windows versions starting with the Microsoft Windows 3.1 operating system. However, the Windows Help program has not had a major update for many releases and no longer meets Microsoft’s standards. Therefore, starting with the release of Windows Vista and continuing in Windows 7, the Windows Help program will not ship as a feature of Windows. If you want to view 32-bit .hlp files, you must download and install the program (WinHlp32.exe) from the Microsoft Download Center.

You can also setup password protected new user accounts so that they can better access to the computer. To add new user account, go to Manage Account and Click Create a new account. Give a name to the account in the next page and choose whether you want to give permission as standard user or administrator. A standard user will have access to most of the software installed and can change settings which will not be affected globally or other users of the computer. An administrator will have full control over the computer.

 

To setup password for the newly created user, go to Manage Accounts. Click the user name and click create a password. If you feel that you no longer need this account, you can also delete it from Manage Accounts -> User Name -> Delete the account.
