You have probably set up this desk to not allow non-button programs to run. To allow all helpfiles, list winhelp.exe (the Windows help program) as an Allowed Application by filename, so WinU allows it to run. To allow just certain helpfiles to run, use the Access tab’s lenient setting instead of strict, and list the window titles of the allowed helpfiles instead of the filename of the help program itself. To add this, on the Access tab click the button labeled Allowed Filenames or Allowed Window Titles, as appropriate. Enter the actual filename or title bar text that you want to allow. To allow all standard helpfiles, enter *help* under Allowed Window Titles so the wildcards allow all windows with the word Help in their title bar. (Some helpfiles don’t have the word Help in the title bar, for example some of the Microsoft Office helpfiles. In this case, add text that does appear in the title of such helpfiles.) Click Add, then click OK. Click OK again. Help should now run on this desk.
