Installation of Temprecord > Notes for System Administrators > Modifying the Registry to Enable CHM Help across Network Drives

This procedure involves modification of the registry. Incorrect modification of the registry can result in serious damage to Windows or installed applications and may leave the computer in an unusable state. Temprecord accepts no liability for any damage or loss that results from the procedure described below.

With a tool capable of modifying the registry (e.g. RegEdit), locate the key:

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

Create a string value called UrlAllowList. Give it a value of:

\\hostname\sharename\TRW_EN.chm;file://;

where <hostname> is the name of your server and <sharename> is the folder path where the Temprecord help files are located.

Paths containing full stops (periods) will not work.

You can also used mapped drive paths ("drive letters" if the mapping from that PC will not be changed in the future.
