I haven't yet installed Vista so have not studied its construction but your

it not be safer to rename the Vista file and then copy WinHlp32.exe into the

It does work as Cathy described. However, a word of warning to those who use
Pedigree Web changes - changing the RIN destroys the link between the web
pages and the Legacy database; ie the file names of the web pages and the
RINs of the individuals will no longer be the same.
Renaming is exactly what I did so that I can easily put this back. I
haven't noticed any problems but so far there aren't many programs out
there designed specifically for Vista. And yes, I would expect this
to be a temporary work around until Microsoft gets its act together.

As you suggest, your Rufus cannot just come from anywhere so there must be a

If your User IDs are the same as the RINs it sounds as if you used
