Windows 7 Tip: Creating A Help Toolbar
When I used to run Windows Vista, I had some commonly used CHM help files as links in my task bar. Now in Windows 7 you can’t put CHM files into the Task bar but I found a better solution: create a Help Toolbar for all of the compiled help files that you use. Here is how you do it:
