» CHM Files & IE7 1.0 download web site opinions problem?

So you downloaded a CHM help file but it refuses to open/work properly, you get a message that makes no sense "Navigation to the webpage was canceled". This is an unfortunate result of a change in behavior that Microsoft made in an effort to plug security holes. Fortunately, the "fix" is pretty simple -: right-mouse-button click on the .chm file, then select 'Properties', and under the item that says 'Security', click on the 'Unblock' option and click 'OK'. This will confirm to Microsoft that you really wanted to open this file (as if they didn't already know!). The same procedure can also be used on other files if you get unwanted Security Warnings. FH solution - use Firefox ;-) Our thanks to Rick, AKA RoboWizard, for this tip. Sorry we couldn't link directly to your page, our DB didn't like the composition of your link. Click on his "Grimoires" link folks, there's lots more interesting stuff there!  author: RoboWizard  required: Any+MSIE 7  size: 2 k  added: 16-Jul-2007

» Edit Command Line - download web site opinions problem?

Command line options are VERY useful & allow you to customize the way a program or shortcut works to best suit your individual way of working. For example, a desktop shortcut to Windows Explorer normally opens with your C drive tree expanded, if the first thing you do is close that up & expand another drive, change the shortcut command line from C to the drive you prefer to access. Don't know how to use/edit the command line? RJL Software gives clear instructions with screenshots, just follow the link on this web page under the heading Most popular questions overall.  author: RJL Software, Inc.  required: Windows  size: 10 k  added: 09-Sep-2003
