Note 18 of 113 of Delphi 2007 Handbook
Note 18: If you don't care about the .NET help, you can remove it (reducing extraneous search results) as suggested by Fernando Madruga in his blog at: http://memyselfanddelphi.blogspot.com/2007/04/delphi-2007-for-win32-getting-rid-of.html.
BTW, Fernando has been also a tech reviewer of the book. This blog post is part of my "113 Delphi 2007 Handbook Notes" blogging project, to promote my new Delphi book.

Handbook Note 18/113 Removing .NET Help
Hi,
You do not need to post this message.
I have bought the book and I cannot find
the "Removing .NET Help" feature in your book. The
link showing how to do it is broken. Can you show
the page number of the "Handbook Notes" when you
post them? Thanks.

Brett,
good suggestion, no problem posting it in public.
The note 18 is at page 38, the last page of the first
chapter. I hope I'll remember this in the future...

OK, your link had a space in it.
Since Delphi 2007, I abandoned using the Delphi Help
since it took so long to open, and it was full of
Microsoft garbage. After executing the steps in
your Handbook Note 18, the help now loads in 1/2 the
time. Plus, when I look at the table of contents,
it looks like a Delphi help system again. Wow, I
can to use the help again. Thanks.
P.S. The article also mentions that additional
files from a list of a 100+/- help sub-topics that
can be individually removed, to further speed things
up. I wished CodeGear would have written a small
app to extract out all non-Delphi .hxs files. I
would do it, but I don't know the contents of each
help topic.

Hi Marco,
the link you posted is broken.
I bought your book and can't find the time to read
it. And today I forgot to take it home for the
weekend :-(

Sorry for the wrong link. I added a space in the book
text, for formatting reasons, and failed to remove it.
The link should be OK now.
