local security workaround through IE

[kain () EGOTRIP DK (Knud Erik Højgaard)]

On many 'crippled' public computers (at libraries etc.) running some sort
of restriction software, its possible to use file/open/browse in IE, type
for instance c:\ as filename, and get a directory overview. Nice for
determining what kind of security software is running, (by looking in
'program files' *doh daft admins*) deleting files etc. . This is not a bug
in IE, just bad programming from the software dudes...i guess? 
Right click the file you want to run, and instead of choosing the top
option called 'select', use #2 called 'open' ... sometimes access is
disallowed to certain files IE command.com etc. , but simply downloading
the file from somewhere else or copying it to another location usually lets
you run pretty much whatever you want. I've had loads of fun mass OOB'ing
libraries from one of their own machines..yes i know its lame, but i kind
of like looking at 40 screens turning blue one after another..

comments anyone ?
