For some reason a bunch of old update notifications for the web site showed up in my RSS feed reader today (back as far as January TCC 24 notices). While following a link from one of those, it attempted to take me to the What's new in v25 page, but I got a 404:

Well, I guess I'm glad it's not just me as misery loves company. I support the request that this "feature" be disabled (or disable-able). I'm pretty shocked that a developer would force that upon its framework's users.

Yes, that fixed it, thanks.

I had tried specifying the server (it's really just a shared folder on the host computer as seen from a Virtual Machine) in one of the trusted zones but it didn't seem to work.

Yeah, I found a bunch of them and none seemed to help me.

Due to some other problems I was experiencing with help files, I enabled the "Web Help" option from the Advanced tab of the Configure Take Command dialog. Now when I press F1 it attempts to launch the help via the web site instead of the local help, but the URLs it uses are broken. For me it...

As a workaround I tried enabling the "Web Help" option in the Take Command Options (advanced tab) but it launches with the incorrect URL. e.g. if I type del and then pres F1 it attempts to launch the URL http://jpsoft.com/help/Y:/shared/tcmd/TCMD.CHM::/del.HTM.htm "Y:/shared/tcmd" is the path...

I just ran into this on Windows 7. From what I can find it appears to be a problem because I'm running the help from a network share and it's violating security restrictions. I found some KB articles about it but none of their suggestions work for me. They suggested things like clicking...

Oops, well that explains that. Thanks.

I recently tried using the HistoryExclude directive mentioned in the help and I get an error saying 'Invalid item name "HistoryExclude"'. I tried it both the [4NT] and [TakeCommand] sections of the .ini. If this directive has been removed, that should mentioned in the help (online and...

At least Microsoft is consistent about that. :)
