"Help for this vi..." causes "Move To" prompt in IE7

I have an application (LV 2010 SP1) which is documented with .htm and .png files. When installed on a WinXP with IE7, the user is getting a 'Move To' prompt when "Help for this vi" is selected. If at that point a folder is selected, and OK, the .htm file is moved and "Help for this vi" is ghosted out. If select Cancel, another prompt appears - "Copy To". If Cancel, then the vi runs normally - no further problems with Help until the vi is closed and re-opened.

 

This same app and "Help for this vi" run fine on another PC with IE6, and another with IE8, so we suspect the issue is with IE7. We have checked/compared the Options settings between IE6/IE7, but can't find anything suspicious.

 

Any ideas?

What is your help path? Do you have a help tag set?

I set the path via File/VI Properties/Documentation/Help Path (Browse) to:

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\CUSMon Files\iMonDataXFER Folder\iMonDataXFER UM.html

 

Then in the app builder I 'Always include' this file along with the .png picture files, and point them to the 'data' support directory folder.

 

No, the help tag box is blank/not used.
