Getting around command prompt restrictions for real (I hope!!!)

Getting around command prompt restrictions for real (I hope!!!)
So, you've probably seen tons of instructables on hacking word and stuff to open the command prompt.  But, any smart admin will block the actual file, so when you use this hack the command prompt will say 'command prompt restricted' or 'operation canceled due to restrictions on your computer'.  But using some l33t programming skills (not required -- I did it for you) you can make your own virtually unblockable command prompt.

Step 1The code

The code
If you're not a programmer, don't worry.  Just copy and paste this code into notepad:

@echo off
title Command Prompt Batch
ver
echo Copyright (c) 2009 Glitchsoft Corporation. Not actually copyright material.
echo.
:Loop
set /P the="%cd%>"
%the%
echo.
goto loop

Oh my gosh! I found this a long time ago but forgot where it was xD
I still have the file though :D
For anyone who isn't familier with coding, I can explain all the lines :P

@echo off --> Doesn't let commands below or this one from showing
title Command Prompt Batch --> Makes the title at the top of the file
ver --> Displays your computer version
echo Copyright (c) 2009 Glitchsoft Corporation. Not actually copyright material.
rem ^^^Just a notice^^^ --> rem just means remark lol
echo. --> Blank line
:Loop --> A marker for later
set /P the="%cd%>" --> Makes an input line for you to enter a command
%the% --> Displays your command for the computer to follow
echo. --> Blank line again...
goto loop --> Goes to the marker saved for later

I love this code, it's like a customizable Command Prompt xD

So do I not include any part of this:

@echo off
title Command Prompt Batch
ver
echo Copyright (c) 2009 Glitchsoft Corporation. Not actually copyright material.
echo.
:Loop
set /P the="%cd%>"
%the%
echo.
goto loop

For instance, do I not include: echo Copyright (c) 2009 Glitchsoft Corporation. Not actually copyright material. ???

so ill try this at some point but the ppl at my school are (i hate to admit it ) very smart they BLOCK and RESTRICT the c drive  and cmd and opening the cmd from notepad it just pops up for about a milisecond then auto closes , fast enough that it doesnt even showup on the bar at bottom ( probly has a very obvious name but im to tired  to think of it)

Admins tend to forget there's an other command prompt and only block cmd.exe, but leave command.com open.
But my favourite is when they hide the c-drive, but not block it (security by obscurity).
Try adding a shortcut to C:, type it don't browse for it (it's hidden).
