usually pranks don't require some sort of system recovery disk to undo

OK, thanks for all your help (and not so much for your flames) :-)

cool, our IT @ skool hasn't been smart enough 2 block registry access yet!

My school has blocked access to C: via windows explorer, until recently I could access it through DOS, until they blocked that as well. I know that other peograms are able to access it and I would like to know if there is some form of free, portable file manager availibale (i've never been able to spell that! lol) this is of course all for *cough* informational purposes of course

k, thnx

yes, but there's a tutorial on irongeek about one built into windows that anti-viruses never pick up on

Could you please post a link? I don't think it will be detected if I use an .exe binder.
