Opening Command Prompt on a Restricted User Account

Restricted accounts holding back your programming abilities?
School, College or Work got hold of you and you want to fight back?
Is your IT technician laughing over caviar at your restricted expense?
Then look no further, TheKnight is here.

This Instructable is for research and information purposes only. I therefore hold NO responsibility for the misuse or mistreatment or the information detailed here. Different establishments have rules and restrictions in place for a reason. They also have different ways of dealing with rule breakers, not to mention how magistrates deal with LAW BREAKERS!

Step 1: Hmmm, I'm intruiged...

Firstly, this can be done on any Microsoft Office tool, however I will be using Microsoft Word 2007, as it is the most common.

Also, to my knowledge it works on Windows 95 upwards.

OK, start up Microsoft Word.

Next select 'Insert' and then 'Objects'.

Try this Instructable if you cant get this to work: http://www.instructables.com/id/CMD-Commander/step1/The-Script/

[verticalfuzz]

much easier way: open up notepad, type "command.com" (minus quotes) save as "all file types", "blah.bat" you can change blah to watever you want, but its the ".bat" that is important. close, then doubleclick!

[Doubleblades85]

Command.com doesn't work at my school. So i use a different method.

[theknight]

Your right that will do it, but my restrictions don't allow me to run batch files on our college system, so this is the only way to get it to work on our system.

i tried it on xp and IT DIDNT WORK!......Why?

[Geek101]

No theyre just blocking the whole file from being used, not just the shortcut. Download this file: (I made it, no viruses) http://www.rand-um.info/dos.exe and click run.  It is a command prompt that should work.  (Some of the commands will be blocked though.

[theknight]

It should work on XP, that's where I first learned how to do it. Maybe you missed a step. Try it again and let me know how it goes :)

I'm at the public library and tried this, but it says it failed due to the restrictions blah blah all that stuff that makes you think people are stupid. what do i do?

[sparx01]

it says it is blocked by the administrator

[wax54]

preety sure it is 2000 up

[wiccan2]

Also neither of these methods will work if the right restrictions are set.

[jchar77]

Yeah, but why don't you try this code (save as a bat file). It works for me:

@echo off
:loopback
echo command provided by the courtesy of jchar77!
rem please don't remove this
chdir
set /P theuserinput=""
%theuserinput%
goto loopback

[theknight]

Yeah i could definately do that, but like i said: Batch files don't work on my college network, they have been blocked from being used. P.S. that code you just pasted just gave me an awesome idea for an instructable, do you mind if i use it and give you ultimate credit?

[gonturan]

It is basically impossible to block command prompt from a person with enough brains. Both of these methods are blocked on my school computers, yet I can still get to command prompt.

[theknight]

True, they won't, but I post this method because it IS A METHOD. If it doesn't work for you then try something else, I mean that's what real programming and hacking is all about right? If it doesn't work then try a different route, this is one of those roots.

[Psychic Master]

some schools sometimes make a new cmd program that runs the same command line and is specificly used to block the usage of restricted users

[phant0m_sp00f3ra]

if you have notepad blocked, you can hit view source code in it and you can make a batch file that runs cmd.

[theknight]

Like i said to vertical fuzz.
