a trick to get access to control panel as a restricted network user on Windows XP and 2000


OK now bear with me this is my first tutorial.
Dont you just hate those restirctions that the administrators place on you,
and the computer systems, like how you are charged for the internet, or you
are given a certain amount of internet credit to use over the year, and if
(which you usually do) you use up all of your credit you have to pay some
fee to be re-embirsted with new credit, or is it that they have bocked a
website that you really wish to access. But as usual, you, the user, are
restricted to a certain policy and are unable to surf freely. What if you
could reverse that.


This tutorial focuses on how you can gain access to the website you want to
for free, and how you can gain access to 'control panel', and the various
other tools that may have been blocked from your grasp like 'regedit'.
Basically this trick works with Windows 2000, and the 'Always secure'
Windows XP. OK so your at the log on screen, type in your username and
password, and now comes the trick. When you hit enter, and it comes up with
the next screen, you know the rectangle one, immediatly pull out the network
cable.


This then lets you log on without any restrictions because it does not
download any settings from the server. Now you will have access to control
panel, and any other feature that has been blocked, except there will be no
network access. But thats ok, because now we can access 'Internet options',
click in the 'connections' tab click the LAN settings, click the proxy
settings, and in the little white box at the bottom we can specify websites
that bypass the proxy server (eg www.hotmail.com) Now once you have changed
the settings to what you wish, apply them and reset the computer. Now just
get someone else to log onto it because otherwise if you log in it will load
the cached settings from your previous log in, then after the other person
logs in, everyone that logs in after them included themselves will have the
internet settings you specified.


This tutorial was just an example of a way you can use this 'Unplugging
technique' to gain access to restricted websites. But as you can see it also
gives you access to all of the other wonderful features, that windows
offers. For example, you can gain access to msconfig, disable the virus
scanner, then install a trogan at will. And there is nothing administrators
can do about it.
Cheers
