okay im not sure that this will work but i thought i would put it somewhere other then MR so that everyone sees it
sometimes at school if you cant open a certain app like itunes(at my school anyways) what if you redownloaded the app, and then opened the one you downloaded, then the school didnt put a block on the one you downloaded, would that work? I will try it at lunch

Circumventing the network policy of your school (or any network that you don’t own and run) is likely a great way to get banned from that network
-
I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interest to give advice on breaking network and security policies on any network that they don’t own or run
-
Just wait until you get home - whatever app you want to run likely isn’t school-related or that important that you need to run it at school (else it’d already be installed or you could ask a teacher or lab monitor for assistance installing it)
Just my $.02 as a systems admin.
If they stop you running programs I’d be very surprised if you’ll be able to install new programs. That’s quite easy to control.
Just give in and do some work. Like I need to do…
well, the teacher let us listen to music but then we couldn’t use itunes we had to use the stupid simple audio cd thing
Your results will depend upon how good your sysadmin is. With luck he will be far better than you, and as such will not then have to find suitable action to take against you.

Unless your system admin is an idiot, or uncaring, that’s really easy to see…I know for a fact that all the system admin here has to do to see what downloads have been done/attempted is to open up a program and click on a tab…
The sys-admins at my school are all really dumb.
My brother once found a way to put things into and see other people’s folders. He almost got suspended, but then he mentioned something about the sys-admin’s porn collection (which he actually found ON THE SCHOOL NETWORK). Stick it to the man!
EDIT: After the porn comment, “stick it to the man” is probably not the right phrase to use.
hahahahahahaha
When I was in creative writing in highschool back 'round '97 I wanted to edit the background picture on the desktop but all that was locked out. To open up MSpaint I simply opened up IE, associated .bmp files with mspaint, browsed to the proper picture with IE’s open URL function (you couldn’t browse there using windows explorer, however) and opened it that way. I edited the picture and was done.
I could open any program by associating some random file with it in IE, browsing to that file in IE and trying to open it. It would then say “you can’t open that with this program” but leave the program running. Simple. (I think we were running win95 or possibly NT, and some “program shield” thing trying to limit our access)
I’m assuming this kind of trick won’t work almost 10 years later.
Damn, what did he just say ‘ummm, you have porn on the school computers’? They must have been embarrassed.

That’s pretty much how it went down. Can you guess why he wasn’t suspended? 
I know our computers will not let you do anything like that because I had firefox on a flash drive and when I tried to run it the computer wouldn’t let me run an exe files 
lol that’s hilarious! what kind of idiot would keep it on the school network?!?!?! 
anyway, i have a hacker-ish friend who found out he could replace the itunes program with the one from his house and it wouldn’t be blocked. however, i wouldn’t recommend it because the sys-admins will notice it when they check the laptops.
another thing to do is figure out the sys-admin password and use that account. some people figured it out a bunch of years ago and the p/w has been passed down every year. anyway, our grade got it but some goody-goody told the sys-admin. anyway, a whole slew of laptop checks followed and just about our whole grade (100+ people) got detention. it wasn’t more than that, though, because they couldn’t have 100+ people suspended at a time. what’s the point of that?
-EDIT- oh, and i know if you have an external hard drive you can run programs off that without downloading them onto your computer. someone i knew did powerpoint off a 6gig one.
I used to hack a bit, i could do this thing…(eventually)…where i could access peoples computers when they were logged-on and sometimes i would just move the mouse in the opposite direction to where they were moving it, sometimes you would see them hitting the computer and dismantling the mouse 
…happy days 
lame
Yeah, some of my friends have run (I can’t remember what they’re called, but it’s like…old nintendo games and stuff, played on the computer) from flash drives, and I can use my mp3 player to listen to music and stuff
iTunes is a pig and it also needs to be installed rather than just run from an exe.
There are media players that can be run from the exe with no installation needed. That means they can be run from a flash drive.
XMPlay is one.
at my school everyone has their own drive, and I installed Firefox on my drive, so I can use it instead of Internet Exploder.
It seemed kinda relevant, so I thought I’d share.
once I found the admin’s pssword and was fooling around w/ other peeps I rally hate’s password it was sooooo funny when I changed my admins password I laughed soooo ahrd I almosted peeps my pants
On our laptopa, to run exe’s to install games or whatever, we put them in the temp folder, set tem to open in windows 95 mode, do some other crap and Voila!
This is why 12 year olds shouldn’t post on forums…
peeps instead of peed? That’s not even good enough to be called a typo!!
