Mine was simple, but great. IE was hidden/removed in our typing class, maybe 5th grade. I guessed you could type a www.domain.tld in Word and when you pressed space, got a clickable URL that was still tied to IE. I knew about the URL, but learned it would still open with IE hidden. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I used to go to the "about Microsoft Works" pop up under the "help" drop down in Works (yes I'm old), and then click a URL on there that would open up a functioning IE window.
We used to get up to so much shenanigans in high school computer classes... I remember playing Unreal Tournament over LAN with like half the class without the teacher knowing
It was Quake for us ๐ I'm not even that old, it's just the only game that was small enough to store on the shared network without being discovered
