<TIP> Alternate Internet Browser

[Abhas]

When all your internet browsers mess up... Does it ever happen that all you internet browsers seem to be messed up, be it adware or just a bogged down pipe. In such cases, you can use MS calculator to browse the www. Yes, the Microsoft calculator (standard windows accessory) can be used to read pages, albeit without flash/shockwave support.

Try this out.

Open MS calculator by typing 'calc' in the run menu(windows key+r = shortcut for Run menu)

Help > Help Topics

This will open a new window, in the top left corner of which you will see this notepad icon with a yellow ? mark.



Clicking on that icon will give a drop down menu,



Now click on 'Jump to URL' and type the address of the site you'd like to visit, only with all the http:// added, for eg.

http://www.planetcricket.org


There, you're all set for web page access until your regular browser is up and running again.

This process does itself uses IE so if you are using IE and it goes bad, i dont think it would work.

u should better use Firefox or Opera than IE

Also for completely slow browsing.

If you want to browse anonymously, just find an innocent friend and use his computer as a proxy.
