Securing windows is a good idea. In very strong hurricanes, window or garage door breaches are typically the cause of roof failure. Tape (especially duct tape) is a bad idea, not only because it doesn't prevent shattering, your windows are also ruined because the tape adhesive will be nearly impossible to remove.
If your windows are recessed, the hot items for securing plywood are Plylox Hurricane Clips.

Here's one in the dumb question category.......could the plywood or shutters (or whatever for protecting windows) be installed from the inside, rather that on the outside?

Those clips look interesting. I'm going to buy some nest time I'm at Lowes and try them out.
Ive just screwed plywood over the windows, still have the holes from Isabel.
