Limited Windows Uses.... Ex. Can not right click!!

jae1227 · 11-18-2005, 02:32 AM

Well at my school we have computer that use windows XP professional. Everyone must log in to the computer with there student number and password. The problem with the computers is that they do not allow freshmen and sophomores to right click. Seniors can not adjust the windows size. Only juniors can use windows media player. Only the head network person of the county can change these settings. Our teacher does not know why the disabilities are done be grade. It has become very annoying because I can’t right click to change my resolution from 640*480

. Because I am a student I don't have a control panel, so I thought the only thing I could do is change some file on the C: (Note I do not have access to the local hard drive, the C: drive I can only access the network hard drive.) with either a Linux live CD (DSL, Knoppix, etc.) or Bart PE. I also thought maybe some sort of bootable floppy or bootable CD could disable some feature on the computer. See the problem is not the computer it is when I sign b/c that is when the computer disables these features ( ex. a juniors and freshman can use the same computer but only the juniors gets to right click) So please is anyone knows any solutions please respond.

go to ie and type in the address bar: control panel or C:\

it gives you access to everything. (or at least it did at my old school).

There is a reason schools have these features disabled...

At some point too many freshman and sophomores were messing up your school's computers so they had to do something about it!

Why dont you spend your time a school doing the appropriate work on those computers and stop trying to mess with the computer systems (if more kids did that, maybe the school would have had to resort to locking all of you out of the CP)....
