First of all, I suggest you to skip this post unless you are utterly jobless! If you still wanna know more, here is a tip to open Websites from Windows Calculator in XP / Vista (using IE)

calc

Here is how to go about it -


  1. Open your MS Calculator. This is normally found in Start –> All Programs –> Accessories –> Calculator.
  2. Open the Help window by pressing the F1 key.
  3. Click the top-left corner icon of the help window once (Default is a Document with a Question mark).
  4. Click on the Jump to URL….
  5. Type your address into the available field, but remember to type http://, and not just the www (or equivalent).

Note: This is not restricted to MS calculator, but is valid for all utilities having a help file (.chm file) associated with it, like MS paint, Notepad etc.

Honestly, I couldn’t find when this will be useful! Only time might be when your IE browser is messed up for some unknown reasons.

  1. So strange! I wonder what shows up in Google Analytics.

  2. I feel it MUST be calling IE internally, hence the header information of the request would obviously contain the browser type as IE, analytics would show the same!

  3. utter coolness! may not be very useful at all times but still, utter coolness trick ^_^
