X1 Reference Guide entry in the Help Menu?

Is there a way of incorporating the pdf manual into the Help menu as is the case for an external editor in the Tools menu?

ie 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Tools Menu\Sound Forge 10]
"exePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony\\Sound Forge Pro 10.0\\forge100.exe"
"MenuText"="&Sound Forge 10"
"StatusBarText"="Run Sound Forge 10"
"Type"="WaveEditor"




  X1E-64bit, Windows 7 64-bit, Sonica Labs Hush QT- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66G, 8GB  RAM, RME Fireface UFX (using Firewire), 3 eSata internal/many external hdd's

    No, not the Help menu but it might work in the Tools/Utilities menu. I haven't tried it, but you probably just need to change the exePath value to the path and filename of the PDF file.

    Thanks for the reply Scott. 

    By substituting the name, file path and using ".pdf" in the filename ext of  exePath, it did add the entry into the Tools Menu - but the pdf didn't launch - I assume I need to incorporate adobe reader exe somehow.  

    I eventually wanted to get this via a Key Binding but it may not be that easy.

    Instead, I just pinned it to my Win7 taskbar and "mouse launch" it.

    If you use Benstats Sonar Plus there is a menu item for it.  You just have to direct it to where you have it installed the first time you use it.   Another great reason for using this super utility.

    +1 For Sonar Plus - it gives you an extra toolbar that you can place anywhere on your monitor/s and gives you heaps of extra functionality.
