Getting paint off windscreen

My car was at a panel beaters a year or so ago, and it got little specs of paint (overspray from primer) on the front windscreen. I'm speaking about 15dpi.
Whats the best way to get it off? I've tried all the basic stuff I have in the shed -- turps etc, but to no avail. A razor blade does get it off, but I'm worried about scratching the glass.
Any suggestions ?!?

If it is on the outside, just take it easy with the razor blade, just keep it wet when doing it.
Same applies to shaving, dont run the blade sideways (even though i used to on glass) and keep it on a good angle.
Just be gentle...

A grade paint thinner will get it off easy as......
Just keep it away from paint or you will get a real shiny spot when it dries

A copper (1 or 2c piece) laid flat on the glass will scratch the paint off without scratching the glass.
Thinners should get it off easily though.

Cool thankyou all. Done now, and looks great
Just went with a wet blade, then polished it all up with some ammonia.
Thanks!!
