If they are ActiveX (so registration is required), location is somewhat
irrelevant as the Registry controls access. It then becomes a question of
preference/convention, although <%Windows%\System32\ is popular.
..cnt are associated with help file AFAIK, so either in your
<%Windows%\Help\ folder or the folder of the app that the Help applies to.
I believe an app searches the PATH variable to find help file.
