Running Command Prompt in restricted PC

Some Cyber Cafes or public computers restrict users from opening the command prompt. Here’s how to bypass them.

Using Web Browser
Open your Firefox or Internet explorer and type C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe in the URL bar. Press enter and command prompt should pop out right away.

Using mIRC
In the status channel just type /run cmd

Using MS Word
Open any document. Right click on the toolbar panel and tick the Visual Basic option. Launch the Visual Basic editor.

Add form from Insert>Userform. Click on the form and insert this code.

Press F5 to run the program and click on the form to launch command prompt. You can also try with other Office components, Power Point, Excel etc.

Using Notepad
Open notepad and write ‘cmd’ without the quote and save as cmd.bat. Run the batch file and again, command prompt come out.

If you can’t access notepad, try to view any website using Internet Explorer and click View>Source. Notepad saves the day!
Some virus will block cmd from running but not command.com

Have fun :>
