“Weblog Hackosis details a smart hack for finding an internet browser in
Windows XP in the face of extreme IT lockdown—where Internet Explorer
is blocked and Firefox is an out-of-the-question extravagance. The
method? Simply use the browser built into the XP default help app. For
example, just open up an app like Calculator, hit F1 or go to Help
-> Help Topics, then right-click the title bar and select “Jump to
URL…” Then it’s simply a matter of entering the URL you want to
visit. It may not work in extreme cases of IT lockdown, but it’s worth
a try if you’re desperate. While you’re at it, here are a few more
methods to survive IT lockdown.”
