Isn't Google a wonderful tool?

I would make a really rotten teacher. I would be one of those... if you wanna know that go search google teachers. I really hate it when someone tells me to google it. So sorry if I have again made an as* of myself. :eek:

You can't do what I suggested without admin access. Sorry - I must've misread your earlier post where you said you did. If you don't have admin access on the machine, you shouldn't be messing around trying to get into areas you aren't supposed to be in. That's a big nono.

[edit] Yep, I read it wrong. You don't have admin access. This means it's not your machine. This makes it hacking. Enjoy the reds [/edit]

Why was he negged?

He's asking a simple question, getting replies, and being very respectful.

Excuse me as I set the Greenie Blaster and rectify the dick who negged him.

You should be able to launch any windows program by typing the name of its
executable file on the command line. If the program is on your path,
it will execute .

Code:

---

C:\WINDOWS>echo %path%
C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PERL\BIN\;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\UNIX;C:
\PROGRA~1\MTS;C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG6;C:\PROGRA~1\ATITEC~1\ATICON~1

---

Check the path, and if you want to launch other apps that aren't on the path,
you must type the full path name.

When you want to see hidden files, it's

Code:

---

Whups. Already rectified. I negged him a whoppin 3 points, and paid in reds back to myself. Thanks for the PM Digital - now that we know it's your step-dad's, I'd suggest getting admin permissions from him before going further.
