Getting around filters at work or school

[johnhoward]

Easy way to browse using paint or any other acCessory in xp ,

1.Open up paint

2.Click on help then help topics.

3.At the top left hand side there is a little symbol . looks like a page with a question mark beside it , left click then click on jump to url

4.Type the url you want to visit and away you go

This has worked at school on blocked sites , give it a go and see if it works.

Unfortunately it doesnt work for Windows 7 but I'm trying alternatives , will post back later with results.




Cheers
