We need to allow intranet access for .hlp files (don't ask) and referenced
in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607#3 is a gp:

How to unblock .hlp files that are stored on the intranet

Network administrators can use the Allow WinHlp32.exe to access .hlp files
stored on intranet sites policy setting to unblock .hlp files that are
stored on the intranet. Administrators can use the GPCM to manage this Group
Policy setting. For more information about Group Policy, see the
"References" section.

If neither Group Policy for this feature has been set, users can modify the
user registry setting for this feature to block or to unblock .hlp files
that are stored on intranet sites. To change this setting, users must first
add the following new subkey to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp
Then, users must add a DWORD value that is named AllowIntranetAccess to this
subkey. If the value for AllowIntranetAccess is set to 1, the .hlp files
that are stored on intranet sites will be available. If the value is set to
0, the .hlp files that are stored on intranet sites will be blocked. If this
registry value does not exist, the .hlp files that are stored on intranet
sites will be blocked.


Does anyone know where this setting actually is?


Cheers,
J

If I am correct, and guys please correct if I am wrong, but this is a
GPP/CSE that has to be installed first.

Thing is they specifically mention:

Allow WinHlp32.exe to access .hlp
files stored on intranet sites policy setting to unblock .hlp files that
are stored on the intranet

Which sounds like an actual policy.....somewhere.

I mean it's easy enough to create the reg entry via Gpp but i'd prefer an
actual policy if there is one
