How old are you?

Any guesses? I say 15.

You're insane if you think you're going to get help on bypassing security procedures, especially without due cause, by asking on AnandTech.

there's probably a very good reason you can't install your "program" on the school computer.

*Knocks on your forehead*

I think you would.

You didn't specify which OS or what sort of program you're installing.

Just because you might actually do some research and learn something I will let you know it is possible. But I'm not going to tell you how. But students do it all the time at our school and I've had to come up with more creative ways of preventing them from installing software as restricted users.

Doing this would get you fired at many workplaces and expelled from some schools. You could install keyloggers or a virus and if you even inadvertantly stole confidential information like an SSN you could be looking at some time in lockup.

All so you can play Quake II on a computer with on-board video? May as well get this out of the way then....I like my double cheeseburgers without onions and I'll take two packets of sweet and sour sauce. Thanks.
