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
