I don't think the .cnt file stands alone. It's part of a set of files constituting program help. So there should be an associated .hlp file (I think). Opening the hlp file uses the cnt file.
I went through a few years ago and yes you are correct, but there was a win32hlp that would display the .cnt file and I cannot find it. As a matter of fact, the file was public from MS for Win 7, but they must have removed it. I had not run into the situation where I need it before now and I downloaded a 32 bit program that has .cnt help.

Not sure I'm recalling this correctly, but, yes, the win32hlp function was associated with files of type cnt. But you still need the other files to open it since the cnt file by itself has no help content. It supports the hlp file.
.cnt was the uncompiled help content (.hlp) file. The program isn't that complicated and I can fumble my way though it - I think....
