Missing Icons or images in Vista's Help

I found myself today set on finding a fix for a little annoyance i've had to put up with for a while now: icons and images were missing from Vista's Help and Support system. Apparently, this is a common problem. Fortunately, there's also a very quick and easy fix for it. It seems, for something, it has something to do with the .png file associations.

A google search led me to the solution as described in the last post on this page:

Right click on the .reg file link and select Save Link (or Target) As... to download the reg file to your computer. Once downloaded, double click the reg file and allow it to be imported to the registry. That will solve the problem.

The registry file is harmless, nothing dangerous in it, so rest assured it will not cause any damage to your computer.

Enjoy your restored icons and images in Vista's Help.
