How to view XYplorer help file for beta releases, Win10

Post by Jerry »

This post comes with the answer. If you regularly use beta releases you may have noticed that the help file doesn't show content from within XYplorer. (Not to see info on the beta changes, but to see help on previous stuff.) In Windows 7, I was able to alternatively just double-click on the XYplorer.chm file in the application directory. But in Windows 10, that doesn't work either, unless you do this one-time change in the properties panel for XYplorer.chm: At the very bottom, there is Security section with an Unblock checkbox -- just check that box and hit ok. This seems to fix the hookup from within XYplorer as well. This has to be repeated with each beta installation.
Running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit quad-core ASUS G752-VY notebook with 64 GB RAM, over 26 external USB3 drives attached via multiple powered hubs with letters and mount points, totaling 120+ TB. SCREEN SCALING: 125%

How can you say that?! It does feed you :biggrin:

I rephrase it for you: Windows has an amazing, unique and very special way to handle things.
