This disables Help Viewer completely
Authored by: anjoschu on May 21, '04 08:22:36AM

This command sets the permissions on Info.plist to 600 (i.e. no-one can read the Info.plist contents anymore), so that _every_ Launch of Help Viewer fails. You'll have to correct this with this command:

sudo chmod 644 /System/Library/CoreServices/Help\ Viewer.app/Contents/Info.plist

Furthermore, I read that it would still be possible to include a faked Help Viewer application with higher version number in the mounted disk image, so that this one would be activated by the help:-URL. I'm not sure, but to me, changing the help:-Association seems the most secure fix.
