adam2001 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 the reason its blocked out is because the admin DOESNT want you to be messing with the computer, cus they know some wise guy will try. :D But anyway go for it and display the admin is a (insert profanity here) on the desktop so even he cant change it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deimos Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 you dont need that, at school, all you have to do is go to start, programs, accessories, command prompt. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T@RicK Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 well ... if u have a win2k domain and the the net admin at ur campus has restricted the execution of cmd.exe file ... ur out of luck then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanMarkx Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Some schools only block the program name itself... so you can juet rename the .exe file from cmd.exe to dos.exe and it will run.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenching Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I think you no need extra command prompt to do that. Try this: Go to Start | Run and type command.com I think it works. Tell me if it is not working. Thank you. Regards, Chua Wen Ching :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T@RicK Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 What if the RUN command is disabled by the net admin ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+primortal Subscriber² Posted November 14, 2002 Subscriber² Share Posted November 14, 2002 (edited) open up windows explorer and goto \winnt\system32, command.com and cmd.exe are there if installed. Just double-click if they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 So the admin has blocked your privilaged use of the command line? I think if you just downloaded cmd.exe it would help, because that is a blocked file. Even if you replaced it. So like its said earlier you sould rename it, but you might not have permission to do that either. I could be wrong thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Mersser Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 well the thing is..... here at school, EVERYTHING is took out. There is no: Start --> Run Start --> Programs --> Accesories --> Comand Prompt Access to drive C: But the cmd.exe file still works, I just had no way of getting to it without being the administrator. Thanks! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_notm Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 aye, I had the same problem at my school. They block everything, but being sweet I was able to get access to it by making a shortcut in my personal folder (Right Click > New > Shortcut "%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe") If the admin has blocked you from the Windows dir, then there's not much point in having it because most .exe's are blocked out. The other thing you could do is be sweet and make a program that just acts like a run dialog like I did and be able to run anything you want :) Or... you could just crack the admin password. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacid Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 yea must be win2k with domain and group policies, got the same thing in my C++ class, except we don't got the net since he took it off so there isnt anything really fun to do when your done. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlabot Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 lol! we dont need to use cmd.exe to hack into local security settings at skhool, instead we opted for the a way that was harder at first but made it easier in the long run.... we made an exe (that can be executed using MS Word 97) that deleted the local security settings in the registry and then reassociated the .exe,.com,.scr,.lnk,.pif etc associations in the HKCR Keys. It works perfectly on their Novell 'enhanced' win95 machines :D :D :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kintamanate Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 what if right click, create shortcut, which shortcut? command.com :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T@RicK Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 kintamanate is right ... if ur talking about Win2000 Domain and the admin has locked you out of the command prompt through Group Policy Object settings closing ur run command option, prohibiting runnung of cmd.exe files ... the only thing that works is the command.exe (not cmd.exe) if u know how to access it.
