I work in a retail store and on the register/computer we only have access to 2 programs, can't right click, can't boot in safe mode, etc. So here's my epic story of how I did it: I clicked Volume Control and went to Help, then Help Topics. Then I went to Options, Internet Options, Search Settings, then clicked on Find me more providers... It booted up IE and now I am free to browse whatever I please. Just thought I would share this little bit of information with everyone, you're welcome    | ||

Kind of reminds me what was it Windows 98, if you didn't know the password to get in, you could go to help print options, browse for a help file by accessing Windows explorer and finding an invalid file which would bring you into desktop. | ||

Reminds me of windows 98. If you didn't know the admin password to get in you could have just booted in command prompt and simply find the *.pwl file, which you could've just renamed and voila, no password required :D. I used to do this trick at a computer cafe, i played so many nights without actually paying, great stuff back in 99 . | ||

So I found a way to install firefox and did so epically. I copied Firefox onto a USB drive, then brought it in to work. I thought that would be that but no, it wasn't that easy. A lot of the functionality of the computer had been disabled, making it seem incredibly difficult. I managed to bring up the windows help menu, navigate to the system utilities, and launch CMD. It was the only thing I could do, I was going to have to use CMD for everything. I managed to copy firefox from my USB drive onto the computer (which was very difficult, as the admin disabled the use of USB drives), then I was able to hide it in My Documents. But firefox would not load any pages, I thought I had done everything right, but I had failed. I left the job to my coworker to find out the problem. Later that night he found out to use Automatic proxy settings and firefox would now load the internet just fine. I then proceeded to re-enable a lot of the functionality, such as right-clicking, which was actually a lot of work. I had to boot up Group Policy, change a few settings in there to enable regedit. Then I opened regedit and made some changed to windows explorer so I could now enable the right clicking. Now everything is back to normal and grand success has once again been had. All in a day's work. | ||

Recently, there was a grade changing scandal at my high school, so they got paranoid and don't allow anything to be run off flashdrives. It's the end of the year, and in order to play SC at school, we have to use CDs. However, we can still burn CDs on school computers... E: Drive is basically a temp folder before you burn the CD... Flash Drive -> "Burn" a CD. And now we can play SC directly off the hard drive via the burn folder. Great discovery, imo :D. And your | ||
