DESCRIPTION
If your Help pages go blank when opened, and Help links don't work, this is for you! Just use Automator to change the pathname from Macintosh HD>Users>cory>(etc.) so that your name is in place of "cory". Then, run it on login. Help– FIXED!

Just a nice Automator app I made out of necessity.

    ZANGIEF  Good news! A more streamlined script taking advantage of UNIX may be available soon; possibly also a GUI if I get the time to make it ;-) This will save a LOT of configuration time!

    MACCAMPUS  Shouldn't we be asking what is causing the Help preferences to go bad after every shutdown & fix that instead.

    Maybe i'm missing the point here but i think this is the wrong solution. Let's say this would happen to the preferences application, would you delete those preferences on each reboot.

    CORYK  No. I wrote this app based on the steps described in an Apple support article. Pref files have nothing to do with it; it is a cache issue that I do not have a solution to at present.

    MACCAMPUS  Welll then, until Apple or you find a real solution, this will help a lot of help users.

    But how about a readme file in the archive to explain to people how to use this. Since not everyone saves the file discription from Macupdate as a manual.

    PS; sorry i took a cache file for a preference file, i guess it can happen, they all look the same to me & if no pref.. or cache in filename only filelocation can help me

    CORYK  Thanks. That's a good idea- a readme file. I didn't think of that. I'll "stuff" a readme in right now and update that.
