I'm also somewhere on that path, but there's one thing which really annoys me with this help file. Whenever I click on a topic, it opens a window which is just way too big for me - I don't want it to cover everything else I'm working on, so I resize it. Then I pick another topic and there it goes again.

OK, I know - it's Microsoft. What I would not want is to have my help files behave like this - so, is there any way to have .hlp files behave like decent windows, and remember their size and position between sessions? Is there some gotcha at design/compile time, or can this be manipulated later in registry or somewhere else?
