Description: Tips for opening documents with Microsoft Document Explorer in Visual Studio 2005.

 <p>Just a small tip: If you're trying to open some document that needs MS Document Explorer (<i>dexplore.exe</i>) to read it, if you only have installed Visual Studio 2005 an error will popup ("Unable to find <i>C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help\dexplore.exe</i>" or something similar).</p><p>It's simply that Microsoft has changed the directory, now is "<i>\Help 8\dexplore.exe</i>" instead of "<i>\Help\dexplore.exe</i>". Set the correct path and done ;)</p>
