I hope I'm posting this is the right newsgroup.
I recently downloaded the latest version of the platform SDK. The SDK shipped with the documentation in the new Help 2.0 format. How can I get these latest versions of the SDK documentation to override the current versions that the VS IDE displays?
Why can you not view these files by double clicking on them their extensions are hxt/hxi.
Thanks Craig.

Hi, Craig,
If you have multiple Help collections installed on your machine, you can use the Combined Help Collection Manager to select which collections installed on your machine are included in the default "Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection" (VSCC). For further information, see the help topic
"Combined Help Collection Manager" [VS .NET] ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/vsintro7/html/vxurfTheCombinedHelpCollectionMana ger.htm [Web] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/ht ml/vxurfthecombinedhelpcollectionmanager.asp
Selecting a Default Help Collection
Your active Help collection in Visual Studio .NET is indicated in the Help, Environment, Options Dialog Box. Choose Options from the Tools menu, expand the Environment folder, and select Help. The Preferred Collection dropdown menu displays the Help collection currently in use.
To retain access to all of your Visual Studio Help, select the "Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection" as your Preferred Collection. The default VSCC Help collection includes all of the documentation that is installed with your version of Visual Studio, as well as any additional Help collections, such as Help for Visual Studio updates and add-ons that are designed to be integrated with Visual Studio .NET.
When to Modify the Default Help Collection
If you have installed Help for different versions of Visual Studio .NET, or Help in different languages, you might wish to modify the default VSCC Help collection. The Combined Help Collection Manager allows you to select which Help collections are included in the default VSCC collection, and which are excluded from it.
Excluding installed Help collections from the VSCC can have both beneficial and unexpected consequences. You can reduce the number of duplicate topics found in the Help Index and Search lists in this way, but you can also remove entire content areas from your Help Table of Contents.
Take care that you do not block your access to documentation that you requir e. Instead of modifying the default VSCC collection or selecting a non-default Preferred Collection, consider using filters to focus searches on Help topics related to your needs. For more information, see
"Customizing Dynamic Help" [VS .NET] ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/vsintro7/html/vxtskcustomizingdynamichelpwindows ..htm [Web] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/ht ml/vxtskcustomizingdynamichelpwindows.asp
and "Using Existing Filters" [VS .NET] ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/dnhelp/html/vstskusingexistingfilters.htm
If you modify or restore the default VSCC Help collection using the Combined Help Collection Manager, you will be asked to close all instances of Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft Document Explorer, and then restart one of these programs.
Hope this is helpful.
