the command prompt was blocked by my administrator): what do it do?
Feb 15, 2011. 2:33 AMfsstickman says:
well what you do is go into notepad. Type "command.com" without quotation marks. Save as All files type and name it cmd.bat or a.bat or whatever. It just needs to end in .bat Save wherever. now double click on it. It should open cmd
Mar 3, 2011. 12:36 PMbandoflyrics says:
Its not working when I open the .bat file on my computer
Anything you know that can help?
Mar 4, 2011. 12:00 AMfsstickman says:
Well tell me what happens. Does the .bat file have like gears on it?

to be honest, i didn't think this would work. but it works really well! all i had to do at school was open custom cmd, and i could get on facebook, youtube, and even proxies! i will definetely use this in the future.

 OK I understand what you are saying but in my school the technician is really sly and I cant even use command prompts i already tried them I was going to make my account an admin and kick all the other accounts : ).
but it must have already bean tried and now he's blocked the c prompt and I cant even run basic software have you got any advice btw if I find a way how to get past it i will be sure to post it.

Don’t fret, we can just make a new command prompt. Open up notepad and type in this:

@echo off
command
@echo on

Save it as a .bat file, then open it, and you should have a functioning command prompt.

 I have to go and try this trick, but if you make a Persistent Linux USB, you can bypass any software they use. I'm pretty sure you can then use the command line in Linux to do this. Personally I just download games on my drive and bring it to school. I used Linux live creator 2.5 and a 4GB drive. If the computers are old and don't let you boot to USB, burn a disk (or floppy) with plop boot manager and boot to it. It will then  let you boot to your Linux drive and use this trick or anything else you want. Hope this helps.

Ok, I tried doing all of this, and I'm actually trying to bypass my home filter, but there are TWO filters. one apparently blocks me via proxies, and the other, the backup, does so also, AND blocks this method to. I acquired the OpenDNS ip (the backup filter) on the command prompt, and thought it was the ip to Youtube......wtf do i do now?

WTF DO I DO??

thanks though for the tip.

Google Translate also gives you access to websites - schools can't block that without blocking innocent users from using it.

If it's Net Nanny blocking you, then try Ultrasurf. website: www.ultrareach.com. I'm using the program right now! But if you have Windows Family Safety, there's no hope for you until I get more information. :)

 OK I think I have figured it out what you have to do is buy a gun take it to school and hold your school tech hostage until he promises to unblock the complete network im sure this way you are probably going to get a result if.

btw I was joking if you hold the school tech hostage you will get arrested i know I dont need to tell you this but there are some people out there stupid enough to listen to me lol  :~0

If your school has blocked command prompt do as the others say and type in ping somewebsite.com but then press enter and type pause. That causes the window not to close unless you type something that way its easier to copy the ip adress.

Okay if the school has it locked down so tight that you can't even snarf legit things try this.

Find a way to create at text file or better yet use office word whatever word processor... most schools have those on edu-PCs

1 If you gain access to the registry you are home free.

2 DO make a backup of the full entire registry before messing with any of it just in case you hose it. Learn how to do that.. read about it.

3 Read about local group policies and know what you are doing otherwise run the script again and leave it alone.

4 Warning: your user name will be stamped all over the failed attempts if you mess up and they will look at the last login... and privileged events so use regedit to save a before and after copy and run the .vbs again when you are finished tweaking broken PCs attract tech attention functional ones don't. PS clean up after yourselves no vbs on the desktop or in trash can – The good and courteous housekeeping rule, get rid of your clutter and clean up your space. -

5 Single out only 1 ( ONE ) PC and use it as a test dummy, Please respect the Admin's job as a "White Hat" because it isn't easy. DO NOT go for all the computers.

6 You do not have bragging rights, keep the mouth shut and don’t share.. let others learn just as you “might have”.

7 I respect Admins be they White, Red, Black, Blue or Yellow hats... but I believe Admins need to sharpen their skills. Being handed your hat by a kid who thinks positively, who has learned and isn't a there to be spiteful is a good challenge and humbling experience. If admins loose their cool and go bonkers be respectful and keep this to yourself “they need to go back to school if they can’t google a fix for this.. )

8 Stick to the small public PC only, Personal or Staff PCs are Private and you MUST treat them as so, consider the grief that can come raining down not a pretty picture. (use the learning PCs for learning J ) and leave Academics and Administration alone… you’ll live longer.

9 (Optional: could be bad or good - just don't let others know about it or see it) Keep a journal, make an outline , define what your intentions are, your motivations, trials successes and failures, discoveries and results, a documented step by step process, don't be crude be serious. This just might confuse the heck out of Administration and get you a fair letter grade for originality alone but writing a report on scientific problems solving and solutions on software solutions… would go even farther.

*A little bragging rights, and a happy ending.*
This hair-brained approach to academia worked for me. I turned in my work on the teacher’s desk with him there or not and only had to show up for class for the final as I learned Advanced scripting on my own trying crazy things like this…, it gave me an A+ for the course. Just wish English was that fun..
Disclaimer: Result will vary, We all are responsible for our own actions and that’s why I’m not sharing how to do a hostile takeover of local Admin account…

Constructive learning is a good thing, treat it as such, use it wisely, build the understanding, research AND be honest if you are nailed, otherwise keep da mouth shut and smile alot.

I you are logging in via a XP to a linux box sorry I’m not going to comment on that one because you would be way over your heads and up against over 500 freelance patchers and hackers.. and more than Bill Gates could ever dream of having on hand for free updates/fixes/patches. The Admin would be a little more stout and wary about scripting and the lock-down protocols are much more stringent. But I have known a few classmates to drive the linux wheel pretty good with two fingers.

I you're going to do it, go straight for the neck and learn some things and quit messing around with proxys, tunnels and back door omissions.

.vbs Code starts after lines and ends before.
Be good and learn.

like ive got 2007 office word and i can get on it and everything but what is the registry
Aug 24, 2008. 8:28 PMI-T.net says:
Just a reminder if your admin is read and done his home work and disabled the very tools he uses your will not have local scripting execution. Also, if the login server is running gpupdate /force when you login all the registry changes you may have tweaked may be reset also rendering your changes dead.. Not going to tell you how to get those under your belts as the Admin would seem to be of the more serious type and graduated with a better than most grade. Knowing when to call match point in Admin's favor,even before the game starts, is a wise choice. Especially for the casual learner and definitely for any "script kiddies" - Learn to use the head before using keyboard and mouse, sure it hurts more but they can't blame your for anything.

OK so something I found to not help but may lead to solving this problem is yahoo has tabs for facebook and myspace i think as well as video in which you can search and when you search for it, it gets blocked, however, go back one page and then go to a link that says "view notes" somewhere @ the top and then click on the link and it will take you to the page you were trying to get to although you can't navigate anywhere else in the website without it saying your blocked again so idk if someone can figure out how to go further with this and if someone has questions as to what I'm talking about email me @ sniffawiff30@yahoo.com the best I've gotten out of it as far as bypassing the system was video which was awesome because my teacher was amazed haha and said how did you get passed the system because like all of you the system blocks EVERYTHING SO FAR...well not everything and i don't think its been fixed yet so try it out see if it works...it did put a lot of my friends in awe because i needed to get to websites for pics and or videos @ school for a project and when i could get on websites like youtube and idk a lot of others for my project in indesign and photoshop which most don't have at home to work on so it was awesome...tell me if you figure anything out as well
