How To Search The MS Knowledge Base

No one has any right to force data on you
and command you to believe it or else.
If it is not true for you, it isn't true.

Nah....just add this string to your Google query...

site:support.microsoft.com

Did you know that the msn.com search engine searches the MSKB directory as well as all the KB articles exclusively?

Did you know that there are terms that the KB doesn't recognize? For example...freeze or hang. Which term is the KB accepted term?


Here is a couple of tips for you old folks....yes, I mean you Norm.
