The help files for the Windows Help system (*.cnt, *.hlp) can be edited so that they run an arbitrary executable when selected by a user. The executable will run at the privelege level of the user. The *.cnt files are like tables of contents that tell the help system what to open when each topic is selected. These entries can be edited to cause system and DLL calls and programs to be executed when a topic is chosen. The help files themselves, *.hlp, can be edited in a similar manner.
