  1. Hey I am on a network and the command prompt is disabled and run isnt available. I am curious is there is another way to get around so i can access the command prompt? Thanks for any help

  2. The run command one, is there other ways to edit group policy registrys by this method, for example the one that blocks telnet? I cannot do it by any other method, only run.

  3. Sorry if i did not explain clearly, what i was trying to say was: The run command method of enabling command prompt is the only method i can use that will work, due to various things. Is it possible to change other registrys using this method?
    I hope i have been more clear this time. Thanks.

  6. Hi i have tried all three solutions listed above to try and run command prompt ect and my administrator has blocked all three methods you proposed. Is there any other way to by pass this or a way to hack the admns password? Im willing to do whatever i have to do to bypass all my admn blocks so please let me no through email if you could at mburgladiesman2012@yahoo.com THANKS

  7. For those of you who cannot access run, open notepad(only notepad) and type in (for example) for command prompt cmd or for regegit regedit.exe then press save MAKE SURE YOU SAVE FILE TYPE AS ALL FILES THEN NAME IT (ANYNAME.BAT)

  8. On my system they blocked out all of these options BUT I can still run batch files, so I used the following workaround. Open a notepad:

    1. Start > Run > Notepad
    2. enter the following:

    echo off
    set /P userinput=”Command: ”
    %userinput%
    pause

    3. Save as type “All files”
    4. Save as CMD.bat to your desktop or wherever.
    5. To run commands, just double click that file and use as normal.
