WinPatrol FAQ

Nothing happens when I click PLUS Info or double-click on a selected item.

When you press the PLUS Info button button WinPatrol creates a temporary file called temp.url and tells Windows to open it. This file contains the address of the PLUS Information along with known information about the file you're looking at.
Windows will look up the location of your default browser and connect you to the internet via that browser.

In some cases, Windows may not respond properly. This is usually due to invalid or old entries in the Windows registry.

If you've recently installed a browser enhancement or 3rd party browser and then Uninstalled it we've seen cases where the removal does not restore the default settings.
