CMD on a blocked computer?

Mon Dec 02, 2013 7:43 am

My school computer has blocked the CMD (it's Windows 7) but if I run a batch program, the CMD comes up.

Does anyone know how to bring up the CMD?

What a complete waste of time. You know that ALL of the kids know how to get a command window running. My 19yr old son was chief hacker at his school and had all sorts of stuff using all sorts of strange proxies to bypass the schools dickensian controls.

Why do you need the cmd shell anyway it's nothing more than a pointless text based interface for people who haven't moved on since IBM / MS-DOS 5.0.
Even if you manage to bring up the DOS prompt you're going to lack admin rights to dirk around with the operating system files or even change the time for that matter.

If you want something more exciting to play with then perhaps burn yourself a copy of Hiren's boot CD and try out Mini XP. :D
