How To Run Applications On Your School Laptop

If you ever wanted to be able to play games and run and install applications on your DET school laptop. Now you can. You can run .exe files and portable apps from your USB if you wanted to. What you'll be doing is disabling the service that is stopping you from running applications. All you have to do is follow these simple steps. Before you do though, make sure you've read and completed the steps from The First Thing You Need To Do.

- Make sure you've completed these steps: http://hackedlaptop.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/the-first-thing-you-need-to-do.html, before doing the following steps.

1. Turn on laptop and at the login screen, click the accessibility wheel at the bottom left hand corner and click the On Screen Keyboard. This should open the Command Prompt.

2. Type in 'services.msc' and click enter. This should open Services.

3. Right click 'Application Identity' > 'Properties'.

4. Change Startup type to 'Disasbled'.

5. Click OK.

6. Restart computer.

Pretty simple huh? You can now play all the games you want and use all the applications you want. I suggest you don't actually install anything though because it will be a pain in the butt to uninstall it all later. If you want to use applications like Chrome and Skype, you should get the portable version from portableapps.com where you can run it off of a USB.

Just a note, you may have to re-do the steps each time you log onto your laptop at school. 

TO REVERSE, make sure you repeat steps 1-3 and then change the Startup to Type: 'Automatic'. Also do steps 5-6. THIS WILL BE CHECKED and the IT person at your school will find out if you don't reverse this before each check.
