Description (last modified by mLipok)

For example in Running under Windows 64-bit Edition section of the CHM HelpFile

there is:

<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winprog64/winprog64/file_system_redirector.asp">MSDN</a>

which acts like:

MSDN

but it should be:

<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winprog64/winprog64/file_system_redirector.asp" target="_blank">MSDN</a>

which acts like:

MSDN

The only change is to use <a href=.......... target="_blank">MSDN</a>

In such case it will open the links out of the CHM file (in deffault Windows Browser) and you avoid errors like in the attached screenshot.
