Hello,

is there a way to turn off dynamic help from displaying when clicking F1???
Every time I call help on a word the external MSDN opens up (just as I want)
BUT also the dynamic pane inside the Visual Studio (VS .NET 2003) opens up.
I've looked in the VS options and have found no way to disable it from
always poping out!!

On your Start Page
click the "My Profile" tab
Set the "Show Help" to use "External Help"

Vincent,

it is already so!!!
The dynamic help did continue to pop-up not displaying the searched word but
showing other links to help topics.
But now all of the sudden it has stopped!!!! Don't know what to think!!

Oh, that's nice.

Where is the MS UI team? I guess they don't read these newsgroups, or any of
their interface design guideline books...

I had done this quite a while ago so I had forgotten how I did it.

If you get VSTweak (PowerToys for Visual Studio .NET 2003)
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/
It has a check box for this (instead of changing the registry by hand)
has a few other useful things too so worth getting even after you have
fixed the help problem
