Access the internet through calculator, notepad, etc

This is my first go at an article, so if you're going to criticize, please make it constructive. I already know it's short, but it's not exactly a complicated process.

When I'm in my programming class (Java) at school, the teacher always blocks Internet Explorer because a few idiots decided to check their email right in front of her, which is bad at my school. Until this incident, I had always used the internet to move past my teacher's requests. I would finish the assignment early and spend the rest of the time researching more advanced techniques. (I know, I'm a nerd, but hey- Java is useful)

So, when I got home, I decided to try and fix this problem. I searched around the internet using the best tool known to man (google.com) and came across this strategy.

1) When you open the windows calculator, calc.exe, you can go to help and then click help topics.
Note: This can be done through any of the basic Windows applications, such as notepad.

2) Right click on the title bar and go to 'Jump to URL'

3) Type your URL (Make sure you put in http://)

There you have it. Now you can search around the internet using your own private little browser which is easily hidden if and when a teacher walks by.

I tested this at school and it worked like a charm!
