How To Get System Access from the Guest Accout

this is a nifty trick that i found on the net at one point. if you know where i found it please drop me a link, because i forgot where it came from. with this you will be able to run programs as SYSTEM which is higher than administrator, the equivalent of root. if ANY of these steps dont work on the guest account you wont be able to get system.

this is a more of a step-by-stem thing so they will be numbered.

1.) open a command prompt.
go to start > run and type "cmd" without the quotes

2.) in the black box type "at (one minute from now) /INTERACTIVE cmd.exe"
this will start a command prompt with system privileges

3.) now close that first command prompt press CTRL+ALT+DEL

4.) click the processes tab near the top, and press e until explorer.exe is highlighted in the box below

5.) click end process ( your desktop and open files will disappear)
dont close the task manager, thats our life line if something goes wrong.

6.)when the new block box appears type "explorer.exe"

7.) the gui will appear again but now when you look in the start menu, you are logged in as system

questions?
pointers?
typos?
death threats? (depreciated)
