INF: Application Cannot Clear the Windows Help History List

ID Number: Q85594

WINDOWS

Summary:

In the Windows 3.1 Help application, when the user chooses the History

button on the button bar, Windows Help displays a list of the previous

40 topics accessed.

If the user closes the Windows Help application and launches it again,

Windows Help creates a new history list. However, if one application

launches the Windows Help application and another application calls

Windows Help to display a different help file, the history list can

contain topics from each help file. This allows the user to move back

and forth between help files.

Windows Help version 3.1 does not provide a method to empty the

history list and remove references to any prior help files.
