Here are some ideas as how to open the cmd when you have it blocked. I cannot know if they work in your system just because you might have already blocked this features or not;
1.- Open the calculator and click on help > help topics. When the help window opens right next to where it says 'calculator' ( top left corner ) there is a ' ? ' symbol , right click on it and select jump to URL and put this;
file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
and then click open. Magic the cmd opens automatically.
If your calculator is blocked you can do the same in any of the windows XP games;
- Free Cell.
- Hearts.
- Internet Backgammon.
- " " Checkers.
- " " Hearts.
- " " Reversi.
- " " Spades.
- Solitaire.
- Pinball.
- Minesweeper.
- Spider Solitaire.
I have tested it in all of them and it works. But I REPEAT THIS;
YOUR ADMINISTRATOR MIGHT BE AWARE OF THAT AND IT MIGHT NOT WORK ( not trying to yell to anybody just make it more clear )
2.- Using the same text as above ; file:///c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
You can open Excel and create a HYPERLINK with the this text, click OK and then click in the link in the excel cell. Click OK in both windows that will pop up and the command prompt will open.
This thing only works with Microsoft Office, i have test it with Openoffice and it does not work

and for those who need admin rights in cmd prompt (you'll need the sheduler service enabled and the rights to do the at command):
at xx:xx /interactive cmd.exe
where xx:xx is the current time in 24h notation + 1 minute. After 1 minute, a command prompt with 'svchost.exe' in the title bar should apear. Be very carfeull with this because you are now working as 'SYSTEM' wich means you can access, change and delete everything.

Because when you block the command prompt for security reasons or whatever, it would be nice if it was actually blocked in all ways. So if somebody knows how to block these attempts I think it would be good for all to know.
Also, just as a side note, doesn't this belong more in the security & exploits area?

Well I was wondering, this is a nice way to get around it being blocked, but is there a way to block some of these techniques as well?

no idea under wich user the command prompt is launched when doing this helpfile-trick, but changing the access rigths of cmd.exe (by denying read/write access) is the simples method, but probably not the best.
The 'at' command can be blocked too. You'll probably have to start digging in the group editor to find these options.

I run as an administrator in my PC.
I used your tips but this not work on me..
it says:
"The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.
Press any key to continue . . . "
if you press a key it exit.
when I type cmd on run command that's the same message...
I used Microsoft Windows Xp (version 5.1.2600)
My email add:
vipersplus-smartbro@yahoo.Com
I don't remember what I accidentally press why this command promt has been disabled.

my school is absolutely crazy about security. They have rm tutor 4 I think. They block all websites and cached and ip addresses. They block the c:/ drive, remove the help feature in calculator, block run, block cmd and block .Bat files. They even block .Exe files aswell.

All an administrator has to do to block your ability to perform this "workaround" is to apply NTFS permissions on cmd.Exe and command.Com to disallow anyone but administrators from running that application. In this case none of these will work.

my school is like that and the way I do it is : also works for .Exe files
! cretae an online email account (any waill do)
attach the file I want to open as an atatchment
then open that attachment
it will ask you if you want to run it
9 times out of 10 I will open up for you :D
btw typing
command.Com
into notpad and saving it as command.Bat
worked for me
(by doing the email trick)
clicking on it normally brings up an error.
