network restrictions...

[splaz]

Basically theres two things I want to be able to do at school that I can't.

*. Use command prompt.

2. Leave stuff on the hard drive of the actual computer.

Well basically command prompt was disabled by the administrator...

any possible way of removing the restriction ?

sorry I don't have more info but I'm not at school right now and I don't have a good memory...

More importantly to me however is that ability to actually put stuff on the hard drive of the computer I actually go onto. You're not actually supposed to be able to access the C: drive, but we use a VB program to view the files on the drive and then make batch files from it. The guy who made the program said he could have made it copy through VB but was having some sort of issue with it... eh... I haven't done VB in a while and he couldn't be bothered fixing it so its just a slight inconvenience.

Anyway. I have actually put stuff on the c: drive. Like little notes on the desktop to test it out.

This stuff will stay if I log out and back in. But whenever I turn off the computer it basically resets the c: drive. Any files I put in are gone and any files I screwed around with are written over and become the original again.

I'm assuming its doing this through the network...?

if I'm right is there anyway to block it on startup so I can make use of the c: drive and make life interesting for anyone else that may use my computer ?

Can you answer a few questions first?

*. Are you using a terminal or an actual computer with a tower and a hard drive. Sometimes admins use dummy terminals where you log in from terminal services to access all your files. You are actually loggin into the main server. In this case everything is stored on the server and your terminal has no C: drive.

2. When you log in, do you have any programs running like Deep Freeze? Deep freeze takes a snapshot of the hard drive. When you reboot the computer it return to the "snapshot" stage. Anything you saved will no longer be there. Its a great program used to keep computers clean and in perfect running condition (No spyware or viruses).

*. Its an actual computer. A complete computer with a network card. I know they have hard drives because for a class we had to take one apart, put it back together and install windows.

2. There is a program called HD Guard or something along those lines. Well I thought it would have been the network...

Read about HD guard. It sounds exactly like Deep Freeze. There is no way to bypass the program unless you have the password to disable it.

Nah this is a more obscure one, not hardware either.

Its software developed by some company/group called latis.

so yeah. Wondering if it would be on the network or the actual computer.

It used to display a screen that said something about having *00+ clients...

so I'm assuming it atleast has something to do with the network.
