WinHlp32 for Windows 10

Description:

In the eventuality that you have recently installed Windows 10, then there is a chance that you noticed that you are unable to open or read older help files. To be more specific, whenever you attempt to access them, you get redirected to a page that explains that the latest version of Windows does not support these files anymore.

WinHlp32 is a tiny application designed to help you with this predicament, meaning that it restores the ability to open and view the help or HLP files on Windows 10.

It is worth mentioning that the application does not have an interface, but is rather designed as a fix. Consequently, you need to run the installer and follow the straightforward steps to complete the operation. Since the tool does not have a GUI, it means it does not come with settings or options, and hence, you can know it works properly by opening a help file.

In case you change your mind and want to remove it, then you should be able to find it in the Uninstall section in the Control Panel. At the same time, the tool does not affect anything on your system, so you should be able to preview the edits you made on the HLP files, such as annotations, bookmarks, or changes to the font and colors, exactly as you left them.

Not only did Microsoft remove the HLP reader from its latest operating system, but it seems it also encourages developers to stop using the Windows Help app. Instead, they recommend alternative file formats, such as XML, HTML, or CHM. On the other hand, if you still have older Help files that you would like to access on a Windows 10 operating system, then perhaps WinHlp32 could come in handy.
