Okay here are some detailed instructions on how to get unrestricted
access to the school computers at MCSHS. Some computer know-how
necessary :

First of all you need to be able to access C:/. Now, the school has
blocked all explorer windows from viewing C:, so we are going to
substitute it for another letter through DOS.

Okay, open up Visual Basic and enter the code editor for the default
form. For the form load, type the following.

shell "command.com"

When you press run, a DOS command prompt should appear in your task bar.
Select it. Now it is time to substitute the drive letter. In the command
prompt, type the following.

subst j: c:/

Okay, now we want to get access to the registry, to do that we have to
hack it and make a copy of the original. We can do that in DOS also.
Type the following.

cd j:/winnt
copy regedit.exe hackedreg.exe

It is copied. Now we have to actually hack the copied file. We will use
DOS for this also. Type the following.

edit hackedreg.exe

The DOS program called 'edit' should open up with the registry program
in it. Most of it will be mumbo jumbo that is indecipherable. Look for
the part which disallows access to the registry, it will say something
like "registry editing has been disabled". Simply change any of the
letters in the sentence and save it. Congratulations, you have hacked
the registry.

Now open word and go to the open menu and type j:/winnt into the
location field. Right click anywhere in that folder and choose explore.
You might want to copy the hackedreg.exe program to your Documents
folder or your flash drive for future easy access. Now, open it up and
press control-f to search.

Search for the term nodesktop and once it has found that key, delete it
and all the other keys that are in that registry folder. Quit. Now all
that is left to do is restart explorer, you might find that you can
access the control panels in your start menu though.

To restart explorer, we need to restart it, but we can't use the three
fingered salute (alt, control, delete) because our wonderful network
administrators have blocked that also. We need to crash it. Fortunately,
windows just so happens to be easy to crash, thanks to the lack of any
ability whatsoever of micro$oft programmers to program a stable
operating system. This is how it is done.

Open up your documents folder and type this into the address:
//123.123.123.123
(you can use any three numbers you want, it is just a random IP).
As soon as you press enter try repeatedly to close the window, this may
take a few try's but you will get it eventually. It is a bit harder on
faster machines.

Wait for explorer to shit itself and restart and whalla! A nice desktop
with some neat items and no restrictions whatsoever. Just like I
promised.

Now make your changes and if you log out straight after making them it
should save them to that computer so you don't have to make them again
next time.

Thankyou.
