NetHelp (2.0 or Classic) installed locally can be given the Mark of the Web (MOTW). This means that anyone viewing your NetHelp locally will not receive a browser security warning first (this ActiveX security warning is dependent on the security settings of the machine). The Mark of the Web adds MOTW commentary text to every HTML file in the NetHelp Target. It is turned on using the Mark of the Web check box in the Help Targets dialog box, see NetHelp Target for more information. There are some issues with the MOTW; for example, links to PDFs will not open from NetHelp files using the MOTW. To learn more see:

Installing NetHelp on a client machine
1. Build the NetHelp target with Doc-To-Help.
2. Copy the contents of the NetHelp folder to the desired directory.
3. To view the Help, open the default.htm file.
You can rename the NetHelp destination folder using the Folder field of the Help Targets dialog box. The default file name can be renamed using the Default file field.
Please note: NetHelp installed locally will not open in Chrome or Opera because of limitations with those browsers, but it will display in all other browsers. NetHelp deployed on a web server will open in Chrome and Opera.
