SYMPTOMSAttempting to change the preferred Help collection for Visual Studio may fail on Windows 2000. When you start the MSDN Library Collection Settings tool introduced by MSDN July 1999, the following error appears:
When you try to change the collection through the Visual C++ integrated development environment, no error message will appear but the setting does not change. CAUSEThis problem occurs when the user attempting to change the collection settings is a member of the Users group on the computer running Windows 2000. Users don't have the permissions necessary to change the registry setting that determines the preferred collection. RESOLUTIONAn Administrator or power user needs to log on and change the collection settings. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
When more than one version of the MSDN Library is installed on a computer, you can change the preferred collection used by Visual Studio. This determines which Library is displayed when you access Help from Visual Studio applications. Steps to Reproduce Behavior
