I use the activeX container to show my html read me file that I created in word.  You just need to pass in the file path where the URL goes.
Hope this is what you need.

There should also be a VI for this in the Application Control>>Help palette (I don't have LV in front of me at the moment).

In the readme button event you can call system exec vi with the command line "explorer.exe filepath/filename.htm", this will pop-up a ie window with the html help file, I have done this before, it is nice since you can change the location of the helpfile and even have it as a remote web file (many applicators are going this route since internet access is ubiquitous and files can be updated frequently).  You can also add switch statments to customize how the browser looks when viewed ( I havent done this much but am sure that the command line prompt switch statments are doccumented).
