I used to always keep a shortcut to the Delphi help file in my Programming collection so that I could open it up and check on things even when Delphi wasn't running, but so far I haven't found a way to do this with the help files for D9. Is it possible? Can anyone tell me how?Check the Delphi 2005 program group: it has an item with a (?) icon that says "Documentation". You can drag it onto your desktop. The shortcut is: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://borland.bds3 If you change "bds3" to "bds2" you get the Delphi 8 for .NET help ;-)
Here's another tip. Keep that old shortcut! The help files from Delphi 7 (or any of the releases prior to 8) was much easier to use (no VB or Visual FoxPro junk), and they actually contained documentation for most of the Delphi functions. D2005's help files actually lost Delphi content while gaining a whole load of unrelated and unwanted content.
