No spyware; just a script... - Version: 1.0, 5/21/2005 08:36PM PST

...that removes (with confirmation) the current user's Help Viewer cache files. They are replaced each time you use Help Viewer, but with time the cache can become "bloated" or perhaps corrupted. Running this app allows you to start over.

If you don't believe me about there being no spyware, run "Little Snitch" while any of my applications are running and you'll see no network activity. :-)

Help Viewer was taking 2-3 minutes to load simple context items. I ran this app and in less than a minute HelpViewer was working quicker than ever before. I don't know if this adds any other scripts or spyware... but it did what it said it would do.
