The main ones i think are included, but a lot of the "custom" ones you have to download

Sometimes if i had an internet problem I would get something like "Visit microsoft.com/somethingsomething for more help.

Well if it was just your dns server they might have tried to set your dns server to their dns server allowing you to download the help file...
That would be very nice off Microsoft...

Yeah... It would be great... but lets get real... M$ ain't going to do it.
First of all... don't look at the help.... it will not help you... don't call them... the person you will get will not speak English.
Just want to say... way to go Microsoft.

But does the help explorer think to check for a local copy? Noooo...
