Još od Windowsa 3.1^{(Windows 3.1)} , Microsoft je uključio program Windows Help^{(Windows Help program)} ili WinHlp32.exe s novim izdanjima. WinHlp32.exe se koristi za pregled 32-bitnih datoteka pomoći^{(Help files)} koje imaju ekstenziju naziva datoteke .hlp .

Imajte^(Please) na umu da je Microsoft zastario stari .hlp format prije više od 10 godina zbog sigurnosnih rizika. Tvrtka je oduvijek pozivala korisnike Windowsa^(Windows) da budu vrlo oprezni kada otvaraju ".hlp" privitke. Upozorenje slijedi nakon objavljivanja koda za iskorištavanje moguće nove greške nula dana u podsustavu Microsoft Help , koji se koristi za prikaz datoteka s nastavkom .hlp.

Sada su .hlp datoteke vrlo stare datoteke pomoći^(Help) i Microsoft ih godinama nije podržavao niti ažurirao. Moderne^{(Modern Help)} datoteke pomoći su .chm datoteke.

Otvorite .hlp datoteke pomoći sustava Windows

Počevši od izdanja sustava Windows Vista i Windows Server 2008 , Microsoft je odlučio više ne uključivati ​​WinHlp32.exe kao komponentu operacijskog sustava Windows . Microsoft je ovu odluku donio jer WinHlp32.exe nije imao veće ažuriranje dugi niz godina i smatralo se da ne zadovoljava njihove standarde za sve nove Microsoftove^(Microsoft) programe.

Kada pokušate pročitati takve datoteke pomoći, pomoću programa Windows Help^{(Windows Help)} ( WinHlp32.exe ) možete dobiti sljedeću poruku:

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows, and it is not supported.

Ili

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.

Microsoft shvaća da bi to moglo uzrokovati neke probleme korisnicima koji se još uvijek oslanjaju na 32-bitne .hlp datoteke. Stoga je Microsoft učinio  WinHlp32.exe dostupnom kao samostalno preuzimanje.

Sada Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 i Windows Vista također ne uključuju program Windows Help kao značajku sustava Windows .

Ako želite vidjeti 32-bitne .hlp datoteke, morate preuzeti i instalirati program WinHlp32.exe iz Microsoftovog centra^{(Microsoft Download Center)} za preuzimanje .

Korištenje programa pomoći ili WinHlp32.exe

Možete preuzeti i koristiti WinHlp32.exe za Windows 8.1 . Nije dostupan za Windows 11/10 , ali možete koristiti onaj za Windows 8.1 . Bit će vam ponuđen KB917607 za 32-bitni ili 64-bitni, ali ovisno o konfiguraciji vašeg sustava.

Proces korištenja je malo kompliciran i preporučio bih vam da za to upotrijebite jedan od sljedećih alata ili proširenja preglednika. Također izbjegavajte^(Avoid) preuzimanje zakrpanih programa WinHlp32.exe s web-mjesta za dijeljenje medija.

Open .hlp files with WinHlp32.exe; Convert HLP to CHM in Windows 11/10

Ever sinсe Windows 3.1, Microsoft included the Windows Help program or WinHlp32.exe with new releases. WinHlp32.exe is used to view 32-bit Help files that have the .hlp file name extension.

Please note that Microsoft deprecated the old .hlp format over 10 years ago because of security risks. The company has always urged Windows users to be very careful when opening “.hlp” attachments. The warning follows the release of exploit code for a possible new zero-day bug in the Microsoft Help subsystem, which is used to display files with the .hlp extension.

Now .hlp files are very old Help files and Microsoft has not supported or updated them for years. Modern Help files are .chm files.

Open Windows Help .hlp files

Starting with the release of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has decided to no longer include WinHlp32.exe as a component of the Windows operating system. Microsoft made this decision because WinHlp32.exe has not had a major update for many years, and it felt that it did not meet their standards for all new Microsoft programs.

When you try to read such help files, with Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program,  you may receive the following message:

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows, and it is not supported.

Or

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.

Or

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. For more information, go to the Microsoft Help and Support website.

Microsoft realizes that this may cause some problems for customers who still rely on 32-bit .hlp files. Therefore, Microsoft made WinHlp32.exe available as a stand-alone download.

Now Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista too do not include the Windows Help program as a feature of Windows.

If you want to view 32-bit .hlp files, you must download and install the program WinHlp32.exe from the Microsoft Download Center.

Using Help Program or WinHlp32.exe

You can download and use WinHlp32.exe for Windows 8.1. It is not available for Windows 11/10 but you can use the one for Windows 8.1. You will be offered KB917607 for 32-bit or 64-but depending on your system configuration.

The process to use it is a bit complicated and I would recommend you use one of the following tools or browser extension to do it. Avoid downloading patched WinHlp32.exe programs from media sharing websites too.

Convert HLP to CHM file

There are tools like HelpNDoc or HelpMaker that are free for personal use which help you convert HLP to CHM files.

There are websites online that will convert the hlp files to chm files for you. There is also a CHM, HLP Viewer and Extractor browser extension that you can use on Chrome and Edge.
