    "Does what it's supposed to. I needed it for .HLP files"

    August 3, 2009  |   By foobar420

    Pros

    Actually allows the mouse wheel when viewing older .hlp files! Gives a fresh, modern look for users of the old Windows Help. It allows sidebar for a index listing in older hlp files too.

    Cons

    Didn't install properly. To make it work, I had to move (drag-n-drop) the "gre" folder into the "bin" folder of the program, located at:
    C:\Program Files\HelpExplorer Software\Help Explorer 3

    Summary

    The Windows Help program that came with Windows is horribly outdated and frustrating to use, this is a decent replacement for my case.

    The download could have been WAY smaller... The program is actually packed very unprofessionally, I was surprised that it actually worked as well as it did.
