When you save an html file "completely"(as opposite to "just html"), the html file and an associated resource folder will be saved. The interesting thing is that when you delete the html file, the folder will be deleted automatically.
The folder must not be some ordinary folder. What is it called and is it possible to do this programmatically?
I googled a bit but cannot find the answer because I don't even know what keywords should I type as I haev no idea what this is called.
I believe that the Microsoft term for this special folder is a 'Connected File', and I think it was introduced in Windows 2000 — in other words, it's a Windows/Explorer feature rather than an Internet Explorer feature. I haven't seen much about it, but this MSDN document could be a good starting point:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776887(VS.85).aspx#connected
Are you deleting this from Windows Explorer? I think it is a feature of that program, and not operating system. Try to delete it with any other file manager: FAR, Total Commander, etc

Almost every time you save a web page from a web browser to your local computer a PAGENAME.html (or .htm) file is created and a folder named 'PAGENAME_files' that contains resources specific to that page.
If you copy/move/delete either the folder or the .html file Windows automatically does the same operation the other file as well.
This behaviour also happens if you create a file named 1.html and a folder called 1_files.
How does this link happen? And why does it work only with web files?
This is a shell feature, not a file system feature. The shell copy engine just looks for a folder with the same name (plus a localized suffix) when copying/moving .htm[l] files.
This feature is called Connected Files and is documented here.
It's a built-in linkage in Windows.
Open up Explorer (not IE, Windows), Tools, Options, View, then in Advanced Settings there'll be a "Managing pairs of Web pages and folders" section.
If people are stuck and ended up here to find how to unlink, here's an easy trick : on Windows 10, I couldn't find how to unlink a .html file from its associated media folder, so I deleted both of them, and in the bin I restored only the .html file and it was then restored and unlinked from its folder.
It is a good question.
Under Windows 7 I managed to solve forced links by simply renaming the file.
I think it is the easiest way.
I have recently downloaded my facebook archive, which is a very old account I started in 2009.
There is some conversations I would like to read, the main problem is that messages.html inside the zip weights 98 mo.
Unfortunately,neither mozilla or google chrome can open those 21109 lines of codes in a webview without crashing.
I could open the document with Notepad++, but it's just like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Could you help me please ?
Further to the LINUX comments, we can only assume you are trying to look (or search) inside the html file. You can use any good, text editor like: TextPad, EditPad, etc. You can also download "Unxutils" (not it is not mis-spelled) and use the Windows ports of grep/sed/awk/head/tail/cut etc. There maybe comments or answers posted to use Cygwin which work fine, but require the use of DLL libraries and such. The UnxUtils are stand-alone exe files are work right out of the box with no installation required.
If you are interested in getting some readable files for each conversation you can use the first part of this tutorial which generates csv files which are easily searchable.

We are using FileZilla as out FTP. At the moment, I want to insert a script in the live index.html. Unfortunately, there is more than 1 index.html files on the ftp.
I was wondering how to pinpoint the exact one?
Is there a way to trace it back using just the Google Chrome Inspect Element?
Thank you in advance!
By "live", I presume you mean the one displayed when you visit a particular URL; and by multiple index.html files existing, you presumably mean that there are multiple folders on the FTP server, and you don't know which one maps to the URL in question.
The short answer is no: the mapping from URL to directory structure can be configured however the administrator of the server wants, and is completely invisible to web browsers, so there is no general rule to find out.
Barring luck in finding some clue, you have two ways to attack the problem:
Firstly, you can search for distinctive content: take a copy of all the folders you think might be relevant, then do a "find in files" for some text you know is in the target file but unlikely to be elsewhere. At worst, you might narrow down the list of possibilities before trying the next approach.
Secondly, you can use trial and error: make a list of candidate files, then edit each in turn to add an innocuous but visible piece of text. Then load the target URL and see if it changed; if not, revert the file and try the next.
I have a chm file that I can open at home. I use windows XP at home and at work. However, when I open the file at work it doesn't show the contents of the file. It properly shows the TOC for the file though. Any ideas pls?
Try to right-click on your chm file and select properties. You will see an "Unblock" button. Click on it, it should solve your problem.
Other than what Nicolas suggested, you may not be able to see contents of a CHM that you open over a UNC path. If that is the case copy the file to a local drive.
just go to power shell and run it as administrator,
cd your folder
and use the following command
Unblock-File '.\filename.chm'
On Windows 7 copying the file locally and unchecking the file opening warning message worked.
I had the same situation, on a Windows 10 (VMware) system. I had to move the file to a local drive as suggested by another poster AND THEN uncheck the file opening warning message. Opening the file gave a "Open File - Security Warning" message, with a checkbox at the bottom "Always ask before opening this file". Until I unchecked that box, only the TOC showed. After unchecking, the contents showed properly. HTH someone else!
Open command prompt and run as administrator.
Go to file location, input the file name and press enter.
It should open the file and view contents in chm viewer.

It appears a lot of people have this problem but were unable to track down a solution. There are apparently different levels of authentication. Most articles I read tell you to set the MaxAllowedZone to '1' which means that local machine zone and intranet zone are allowed but '4' allows access for 'all' zones.
For more info, read this article:

This is how my registry looks (I wasn't sure it would work with the wild cards but it seems to work for me):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000004
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"UrlAllowList"="\\\\<network_path_root>;\\\\<network_path_root>\*;\\ies-inc.local;http://www.*;http://*;https://www.*;https://*;"
As an additional note, weirdly the "UrlAllowList" key was required to make this work on another PC but not my test one. It's probably not required at all but when I added it, it fixed the problem. The user may have not closed the original file or something like that. So just a consideration. I suggest try the least and test it, then add if needed. Once you confirm, you can deploy if needed. If the 'Unblock' method does not work, or you do not see the option, this should. Good Luck!
P.S. Another method that worked was mapping the path to the network locally by using mklink /d (symbolic linking in Windows 7 or newer) but mapping a network drive letter (Z: for testing) did not work. Just food for thought and I did not have to 'Unblock' any files. Also the accepted 'Solution' did not resolve the issue for me.
Your CHM File Has the "#" Hash Character in the Filename or in the Directory Name. Please remove "#" and you will be able to see the content. If still you are not able to see then please visit following link: https://www.helpsmith.com/chm-cannot-be-displayed.php
Windows block *.chm files came from another computer fore security reason. Click right mouse button on file and set unblock checkbox see.
If someone need, there is a web page: http://topdf.com/ where is possible convert a chm in to pdf. I tested it with a chm of ~18MB and 615 pages. I was able to got a pdf with a hyperlinked contents table.
I was experiencing the same problem.
I read that the .chm file only worked on NTFS.
My file was on a cloud network drive which is not NTFS, so I copied it locally and the problem was gone.
Use SumatraPDF. It opens .chm files.
I had same problem and zipped the file then open it from inside the zip program.(I use 7-zip)
In a panic since I'm trying to meet a deadline so appreciate any feedback on this.
For some reason, Flexbuilder 3 on my mac won't launch, crashes on startup.
I've never experienced this before.
Checked the .log file and what seems to be the problem is the following
/Users/foo/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/flexbuilder.fbr (No such file or directory)
WTF is the flexbuilder.fbr???
Googled but not much luck.
The only thing I've done that might have caused this is change flash player versions system wide using the official flash player uninstaller...but obviously this should not happen
Any feedback appreciated...
It's hard to know where it went, but this file just contains a number of paths of 'trusted' locations for the Flash Player. Normally when you create a new workspace in FlexBuilder it adds the workspace location to this file, or if you create a project outside of the workspace it adds the project path.
It's surprising the absence of that file would keep FlashBuilder from launching though.
Ok, my workaround was to simply create an empty text file called flexbuilder.fbr in the location of the missing file.
But still would like to know the purpose of this file and how it went MIA...
