Well thanks for the bollocking. Infact I had googled it, I just was gooogeling for the wrong thing so I came up with nothing I wanted. And I am intreeged by my school network. And I believe it is pretty insecure considering they have all the "secret info" stuck up on the wall in the server room. Sorry if this post has been done before but I needed a clear answer which lots of posts never seem to get (for obvious reasons). I will try what u lot have said at school tomoz and then get back on how it went. The only reason I am trying to run trillian portable is so that I can show the admin that he isn't so clever afterall. Infact, me and my friend have changed about 50 computers so the "Start" bar says... "Haha, Mr _________ OWNED". I know this may sound immature but it was worth it. He didn't even give me anything like detentions - he just told me to put them all back to the old exporer.exe's which i never did, i just was a complete suckup and changed them to the name of our skool.
