Question Weird way to browse...

Picked this up at another forum.... it's weird, but it works....

How to access the internet via your standard Microsoft Calculator or HELP menu when your browser(s) is/are messed up for some unexplainable reason.

1. Open your MS Calculator. This is normally found in Start => All Programs => Accessories => Calculator. (If using "HELP" (start/help) skip to 3)
2. Open the help-window by pressing the F1 key.
3. Click the top-left corner icon of the help window once (Standard is a Document with a Questionmark).
4. Select Go to URL-address. (Or "Jump to URL")
5. Type your address into the avaliable field, but remember to type "http" and :// and not just www. (or equivalent).(After the first entry you can just use 'WWW')
6. Have fun!
