The help function in Office 2013 applications running under 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 is blocked by my Software Restriction Policy (e.g.,.http://www.mechbgon.com/srp/). Neither clicking "?" in the upper right of the application window nor pressing F1 appears to do anything at all (not even generate a group-policy message) when SRP is turned on. It does not help to limit the restrictions to executables (ignoring DLLs and other libraries). I think this means that Help calls some executable that resides outside the usual C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) directory trees.
I would really like to run an SRP but need to create a specific Path (or other) exception in order to do so. No answer to this from answers.microsoft.com. Does anybody here know what program(s) "help" is running behind the scenes that reside in unusual locations or how to find out? -- JCW2↧
