Hidden Internet Browser in your Windows XP


There is a hidden internet browser in the HTML Help Component, accessible from a variety of places.


One such place is the standard calculator. Open the Calculator by clicking:


Start

Help Topics

If you then click to the far left of the title bar, you’ll see an option to Jump to URL… – take that. Type in the URL of the website you want to visit, but note that you need to supply the “http://” part or this will not work.

Hey presto – a browser in the right hand pane of the help program. This is Internet Explorer embedded inside the HTML Help application. You may find that Adobe Flash doesn’t work in your hidden browser.
