How to Surf Internet without Internet Browser?

Ever find yourself sitting in front of a computer where Internet Explorer or Firefox was blocked by IT Administrator – and restricted you from install any software? If that PC is running Windows XP, then there is chance for you to still surf Internet.

Using Windows Applications

  1. Open Calculator, Start> Program Files> Accessories> Calculator or press Windows+R and type ‘calc’ in the run box, click OK.
  2. In Calculator, go to Help> Help Topics.
  3. Right click on the left hand side of the title bar and click on ‘Jump to URL’.
  4. Type in the URL and make sure include the ‘http://’ at the beginning.
Basically what you are looking at is Internet Explorer 6 inside a help window, but this version of program isn’t quite smart as Internet 6. This was tested in Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 6 and I’m not sure whether it will works in Internet Explorer 7 installed computer.

Using Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser bundled with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app, so you can take your bookmarks, extensions and saved passwords with you.
