Have you ever gotten the dreadful "The "YourWebPartNamehere" Web Part appears to be causing a problem" or "The Web part has thrown an exception" and couldn't figure out how to get to the page to troubleshoot ?

Here's a quick an easy way to disable the suspect web parts on the page while you troubleshoot the problems.
place this link in your address bar: http://YourServerHere/_layouts/1033/spcontnt.aspx?PageView=Shared&url=%2fdefault.aspx%3fMode%3dEdit%26PageView%3dShared
This will open the page in a mode that allows you to close or delete offending web parts from a page if it will not load.
Hope this helps someone else as much as it has helped me :-)
