command.com
i'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but if you can't get into the command prompt (cmd.exe) you should still be able to get into command.com which is (i'm pretty sure) a windows dos simulator (so pretty much another command prompt with real dos directories (names with more than 8 characters get trimmed down to six then a ~* or ~2 depending on how many files start with the 6 letters) and some other dos style things (you can't go back to the start of the line without erasing all the text) ANYWAYS) all you have to do is create a .bat file with command.com in it, pretty simple. Once your in you pretty much have full system access (like as in you can view restricted (non unc) paths like c:\). and from there you can access all the games and shit as well as:
Command Name........Command You Enter

note: all the *'d commands are either windows version specific or they just don't work. And about half of these commands will give you a "program disabled by admin" (most of the obvious ones like the user groups and password ones but they're still good to know).
And for those of you who can't open .bat files (thought i heard something like that) you can build a primitive dos prompt in microsoft word. Just goto view->toolbars->control toolbox then make a button and a textbox. then double click on the button you made and put in this in between the "Private Sub CommandButton*_Click()" and the "End Sub":
Shell(TextBox*.text())
and there you go you have a really primitive disguised dos prompt, it won't accept any dos commands that aren't files (like rename or ren) and for some reason it refuses to open command.com . also you can change the button label by right clicking it and changing the caption (NOT the name).
And thats pretty much all you'll ever need to know about getting into the dos prompt. yeah. And most school admins don't like when you get into the command prompt or play games, so if you manage not to get banned/expelled/suspended congratulations!

Command.com is the older shell for Windows systems, but offers most the functionality of cmd.exe.
Nice tut, if you wrote it. I made one like this for my site, and I'll probably integrate a few of those ideas.

Thanks Mike, I wrote this a while ago for one of my friends, hope it comes in handy.
