JSI Tip 10588. Description of Guided Help for Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.


Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 915092 contains the following INTRODUCTION:

Guided Help is a program that you can download from some Microsoft Knowledge Base articles. Depending on the task, Guided Help can automatically perform the task that is described in the article, or Guided Help can guide you through the steps to perform the task yourself.

Guided Help performs the steps by interacting directly with the Microsoft Windows XP user interface, or by using functions that are included with Guided Help. For steps that interact with the user interface, you see the steps occur on the screen.

For some tasks, you can select to run Guided Help in one of the following ways.

•    Do it automatically: The whole task is automatically completed while you watch. You might be prompted for input if input is required.
•    Show me step-by-step: Guided Help points on the screen to where you must click or type to perform the task.

For tasks that can be undone, Guided Help either includes a way to undo the actions that Guided Help performs or Guided Help generates instructions that tell you how to undo the task.
