Unable to read downloaded compiled help (CHM) files?

A problem I keep running into and forgetting how to solve, so I will jot it down here for future reference.

You download some compiled help (*.chm) file from anywhere on the internet.  You open it and see the hierarchical Contents tree on the left panel, but no content on the right panel!

Steps to solve this:

1. Open the files Properties
2. Click the button Unblock, assuming it is displayed.
• The button should disappear after you click it.
3. Press OK.

You're good to go.

I think the reason the problem occurs is that later versions of Windows block them automatically as a security feature.   As with anything, make sure you are downloading them from a trusted site!

Windows 8 - Create a makeshift Start Menu

1. Right-click taskbar
2. Select Toolbars
3. Select New Toolbar...
4. Select folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

There are also some Start Menu shortcut items under the following:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

So repeat steps 1 to 3, and use the above path for step 4.   Don't forget to substitute <username> with your correct user name.
