Context sensitive help does not work in IE7

Hi,
Context sensitive help URL basically has two parts separated by '#',first
part has the path to display home page and the second part has the relative
path to the respective help page, which is expected to get displayed.
URL launched from run dailog ==> "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" "C:/Program
Files/help/Help.htm#Management\Groups\nodes.htm"

URL file:///C:/Program%20Files/help/Help.htm#Management\Groups\nodes.htm


In IE6 when above cmd is launched/ executed from run dailog, it will launch
web browser and display home page that is Help.htm and then ask for unblock
popups, once you un-block the popups it display the specified web page which
is mentioned in the 2nd part of the URl i,e nodes.htm.

All the time address bar shows the complete URl been launched
file:///C:/Program%20Files/help/Help.htm#Management\Groups\nodes.htm


Where as In IE7 it first display home page and after unblocking popups still
it stays in home page instead of displaying nodes.htm page.
All the time it shows only first part of the URL in address bar
file:///C:/Program%20Files/help/Help.htm
and truncates the other part which has path to the desired page.

I want to know is there any work around or a way to get the desired page
"end_nodes.htm" to display in IE7 the way it is getting displayed in IE6.

Appreciate quick response.
