MSDN from VC++

When I install MSDN from the CD, I can quickly get documentation on structures and API functions by simply hitting F1 while the cursor is over the text in question. Is it possible to make F1 search on the MSDN website instead of the CD(s), because the information on the site is more recent, and I don''t like having 3 CD(s) copied on my HD. I realize that I could copy and paste the text into a browser window and hit the search button, but I was wandering if there is a better way of doing this.
I don''t know of a way, but I wish I could do that as well

Well, I think MSDN is it''s own program (and not just a help file) so if you could figure out how to parse and interpret the information VC++ sends to it, you could write your own program that would interpret the info, and open a browser to the web page, and replacing the MSDN program with it. Not the best thing to do in the world, but it might work.
