When pressing F1 hotkey in SQL Server 2008 R2 hang my Maganement Studio?

Question

Sometimes I miss the 1 or the F2 in my computer keyboard when using SQL Server Maganement Studio, that causes my SQL MS to hang and the I have to close it with the Task Manager, but many time I loss a lot from the queries I was working on, so I would like to fix this problem, Maybe someone here has the same problem.

Microsoft Document Explorer
The Application Data folder for Microsoft Document Explorer could not be created

Answer 1

After many intents to solve this problem, I received this message:

External help is not available because Microsoft Document Explorer is not installed. To view help, change your Help preferences to use the Integrated Help Viewer or Install Microsoft Document Explorer

I tried to do it at Tools->Options->Help->General->

Show Help usaing: Integrated Help Viewer

Search Result per page: 20

Show Topic abstracts: checked

Reuse Topic window: checked

Highlight search termn: checked

I had to tried many times until SSMS wanted let me to do it.

Now the problem has been partially solved, when I press F1 the SSMS does not hang, but when I still try to change something in the help options, then chunks..

Answer 2

Right click on the SSMS program (in the start menu / desktop) and select "run as administrator". Do whatever you do to cause SSMS to hang, quit and re-run as normal user. This should remove that warning.
