When I try to open .chm help from a network shared drive I receive the following error:

Navigation to the webpage was canceled.

I know about the .reg solution described on KB896054

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] 
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

but it does not work in Windows 7.

Any ideas how to make .chm help available from the network drives?

Edit: I have the network path mapped to P: drive letter. My program runs from P: and I want to see the help for it. Copying the program to local drive is not a solution for me.
