Hello
I have a problem, we have users that have had there machines locked down by Group policies, we have no way of changing the group policies and we need to use the run option but this is unavailable, the command prompt is also hidden. Is there another way of starting the run option. I have read somewhere you can use a shell command in the Internet explorer address bar, but I can not find it again. Any help will be gratfully received

1. This makes me uncomfortable. Cannot you ask the system administrator(s) to relax this policy object?

2. This is unlikely to help if the intention is to install any software that requires a registry entry to be made.

3. Some possibles:

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunatley the system admins will not relax the policy as the policy covers approx 20000 call centre personnel whos pcs are locked down tightly, and we have to log everything to a desktop team to troubleshoot any problems, I was hoping we could work around this, even if we could open up the command prompt we would be able to reduce the workload on the desktop team

Save this as an 'hta' file and point at whatever you want to open.

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
    function fnShellExecuteJ()
    {  var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");   
        objShell.ShellExecute("C:\\test.txt","", "", "open", "1");  }
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a><INPUT type="button" value="Open" onclick="javascript:fnShellExecuteJ()" name="btnOpen"></a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
