Can't Access your flash drive @ school?

[Decatur]

So in my shop there are 4 rooms, a theory room (classroom) A networking room, a PC room and a workshop.

 

My teacher sat down in the PC room to print off a worksheet, and when he logged on his account (privelaged user) and still couldnt access his flash drive, so I was bored, sat next to him, plugged mine in and found a simple bypass method.

 

1)Plug in your flashdrive and figure out your drive letter (ex E:/)

2)Go to start -> all programs -> accessories -> notepad

3)Type this code in the notepad

(your drive letter here):/, so it would look like E:/

(note this will work to explore any drive, ex C:/, T:/ etc)

4)Save as *Flashdrive.bat* the .BAT IS VERY IMPORTANT and save somewhere simple like the desktop

5)Click the new file, and bam you can explore your drive.

 

I pissed off TeleCom when I did this, almost got in trouble but my teacher vouched I was helping him.

Thanks, my school is thinking about stopping USB activity (which I really don't think they will) but now I have a way around it if they do .

Welcome all, they even did this in the networking room, and my teacher left for 15 minutes so I had 4 kids go to all the computers in the networking room, make this file, and I went around copying Halo CE from my flash to the PC and they were following me putting it into the thawspace

 

Real teamwork right thurr.

 

Were making a LAN tommorowz

Than while your in a file, why not change the directory in the searchbar to E:/ ?

[sillybob123]

Directories hidden cant do that

i dont really understand why would you need this ????

Because at my school they have stopped all USB activity since a hacking last year, and say you need to print out a project, but you don't want to ask a teacher for help, you could do this.

 

Not rocket scientist, read the thread title.

You probably have a different drive letter, I know at my school, all of them are 'E'.

 

Just open my computer and it should say your drive letter next to removable device.
