cropcircles Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Ok I just heard about this the other day. Facinating. If its been posted I apologize. I went to whatismyip and your IP is not masked. 1. Open Calculator 2. On the help Menu, click Help Topics 3. Right click the icon on the topleft corner of the screen 4. Click on Jump To URL 5. Put the address on the Jump To The URL box (Put http:// before an address ) 6. if you minimize the help topic box onto the taskbar you'll see that in place the webpage name the name'll be Calculator Help !!

Angel Blue01 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yeah, there've been times when I'm stuck browsing the Web in the help app because of a link inside a program's helpfile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorgDrone Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 THX for the tip however it still uses IE's proxy settings to connect to the web therefore it isn't any more private to surf than just using IE tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mando Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 it will also use page requests via port 80 therefore any proxy/web sec unit set via AD in GPO in a domain would also render this useless and treat is as normal http. nice find though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
