Where Is That KB
File?
How many times have you wanted to read a KnowledgeBase
document but just wasn't sure on how to find the file
or document at that huge Microsoft web site? Well
I'm here to tell you it's not a problem. All that
is required is for you to complete the following URL
with the desired KB document number.
The basic URL is http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=XXXXXX.
All that is required from you is to replace the X's
with the kb number.
For example: To read the KB article that explains
the problems with the Internet Explorer (MS03-015)
KB=813489. For this document the URL would be http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813489.
