Unexpected HTML Help Author Message

My application implements CHM context sensitive help.

If I right click on a control whose associated help ID does not correspond
to one in the CHM then I get a message along the lines that 'no help is
available'. This is acceptable to me.

However, if I run up HTMLHelp Workshop and then immediately close it and
repeat the above I get a 'HTML Help Author Message' message box instead which
states that:

HH_TP_HELP_WM_HELP/HH_TP_HELP_CONTEXTMENU: No Help ID matches control ID #...'

Obviously not everything is being unloaded on closing down HHW and the API
calls are getting processed different. Would you expect the behaviour? Any
way to remedy it withouth me having to change my code or CHM?

Thanks,

Peter.

OK investigating this further running up HTML Help Workshop for the first
time is adding registry entries which cause this (assuming some sort of
debugging mode). On a reboot I still get the problem but restoring the
registry makes it go away.
