Interesting Notepad Quirk

[Matt Fritz]

I found an incredibly interesting quirk inside of
Microsoft Windows' Notepad. Apparently, you can open up
the source code to a file (.js, .cpp, .html, etc.) that is
stored on the Internet. To do this, you must do the
following:

1.) Open up Notepad
2.) Go to File->Open
3.) Where it says "File Name," type, in quotes, the web
address of the file that you wish to view.
4.) Press ENTER/RETURN and the source code will be
displayed.

Have fun with this, as it can be quite useful.

Or, in IE6, simply go to View-->Source.

Same result.
