Go on the Internet With XP Calculator!
Yup, that's right.You can go on the computer with the calculator!Whether you just permanently deleted your internet browser or you just want a nifty little skill to impress our friends with, this is a really cool trick.
Note that this can be done with paint or I think notepad on XP only . First, open calculator and click on Help then help topics.After you do that, it should open up the help window for calculator.Now click on the upper left corner of the window where it says "Calculator" and it will open a menu that lists "close,minimize" etc. ,(as displayed in the picture above), and at the bottom it should say " go to URL". Click on that and enter in the URL or the address of the website that you want to go, for example: http://www.thequietcomputerguy.blogspot.com . Make sure to include the "http://www" otherwise it will not work.It will then open the website in the same place that it would normally list the help articles.
Remember: This can only be done with XP. :(
