I've been learning some batch lately, it's pretty neat. Especially at school ;) I was wondering though, is there a way to - once in Command Prompt - to code as an admin? In some areas I get access denied and know that if running as an administrator that wouldn't happen. That'd be great if someone could tell me if there's a way or not. Thanks

P.S. If you're wondering how to unlock Command Prompt at school, follow these directions.
1. Open Notepad
2. Just type 'start'.
3. File > Save As > cmdstartup.bat (File Type: All)
4. Double click it, and command prompt will pop up. For some schools it may be different or not work at all.

I know this may be unhelpful to you as a starting programmer, but in the C language there is a system() function that allows you to pass unfiltered CMD/Batch commands.

However this requires pre-compiled code.

Nonono, it was a joke, you wrote caches instead of catches. Don't worry xD

@Epic

Yes, I think I used Visual C++ (it can compile C also)

Just write your program and save it as [name].c and then open the command prompt window and type in cl C:\path\[name].c

This should give you an executable C program in the same folder as the source code.

What does the command cl do? Is this the only way? Because I probably won't end up downloading Visual C++ on a school computer.

cl is the C compiler program that comes with visual studio. I don't know much about the background of it and if it can work natively without visual studio.

Google "mingw", it's a minimalistic tool that does the same thing.

My school computers block Batch files, so I can't use them, but I know how to get into the C:\ drive and use somthing similar to cmd.exe C:

My school computers run Windows XP Professional, and the file I use IE to get into the C:\ drive, and then find cmd.pcf and use that as command prompt. It works a treat! Until the school technician finds out.

My school technicians blocked everything when I joined the school. Funny that.

Yeah.. School technicians are just afraid that the kids will find somthing bad that will ruin the computer so they block everything C:

If they don't want the computers broken, they should just block them!

@digpoe; Can your school even save batch files? My schools lets you save them, but when you open them it only works for a split second then it closes. But not if you just put 'start' in a batch file. At least for my school.

In my school you can't save batch files. But you can open them - but cmd.exe comes up with "Command prompt has been blocked by your system administrator. Press any key to continue..."
That's why I use cmd.pcf C:

I got a copy of it on my USB drive, so I can use command prompt at school.

My school used MacBook Pro's, Chromebook's, iPad's, and iBook's. On the Macs, the only thing they restrict is playing with the dock assortment and changing just a few settings. I've never used the iPad's there so I wouldn't know. The Chromebook's have no restrictions on it. They just tell us to use it as Guest.

Macintosh's are easier to control and block certain things than Windows.

true dat

Issue with Windows computers is that they are so much more mainstream that they are more vulnerable to attack, and therefore more loopholes must exist.

If your school has Win 7, try shift+right click>Open command window here. I haven't tried it (because it isn't blocked at my school). Not sure if it works on anything before Win7. My school does have a C++ IDE that I can use, though. :P

@pwned;

What do you mean by 'Open command window here'?
