Windows 95 Help System

Create a Help Desk

SUMMARY: Create a desktop shortcut to your Windows 95 help files for easy access.

If you are installing Win95 for somebody else, especially someone new to computers, why not make them a "Help Desk" on your desktop? Win95, and many Win95 software, place their .HLP files in the "WINDOWS\HELP" directory. Simply create a shortcut from the desktop to this directory - let the user know that, for instant help, just double-click the "Help Desk" folder and the help file associated with the application that is giving them trouble.
