If the remote registry service, which is on by default in XP, is started then you can.
Can't believe the security of some of your schools though, it's insanely bad.
We've got safesearch on permentantly so we can use google images but only to a certain extent.
We also use this smoothwall, open source pile of crap on a linux box. That's a bugger to get round, you can't proxy because IE internet options box is disabled, and you can't use an alternative browser because the firewall stops it.
The command prompt is blocked regardless of how you attempt to access it. A shortcut to CMD.exe will result in an error message along the lines of 'The administrator has disabled this function'. The run box has been disabled also.
One good thing though, Remote Desktop hasn't been blocked, so i can just call mstsc.exe and go play on my windows server at home when I'm bored - spend the whole lesson reading Maddox.
And, we also have CS installed on all the machines, just supposidly can't be accessed without the gaming user login. True, but you can quite easily create a shortcut to "%programfiles%" (a shortcut to "c:\program files" returns an error) and then browse to HL.EXE, create a shortcut and add the cstrike parameter. That's good fun, when you've got a supply teacher
