I'd like to caulk my windows to eliminate drafts this winter (they're old,
and I have no $ to replace them). I'd like to do this on the interior so
I don't have to remove all of my storm windows and spend days on the end
of my extension ladder. Will plain silicone caulk be useful or is there a
special/better product to do this? Thanks in advance.

Silicone caulk is fine, but get the GE Silicone II, or whichever brand/model
is labelled as paintable. Cut the nozzle only a short way back, to dispense
a fine bead, perhaps 1/8 inch or less, so it is not noticeable, and makes it
easier to razor blade the excess off, where it smears or drips. I hope you
intend to caulk at the pane edges and casing/trim; not between the moving
part and the sill. Unopenable windows are draftproof, but dangerous, should
you have a fire.
