Zero Administration Kit (ZAK) was designed to allow administrators to (among other things) lock down the NT environment and restrict the user's access to certain applications and system functions.
|
|
|
|
In an instance where the end-user is not allowed to execute Windows Explorer and other "forbidden applications" (ie Quake), the following workaround was noted:
|
|
|
|
Open Word or Excel.
|
|
|
|
Select File:Open. Right click on the background of the File:Open window. A prompt will appear that will allow the user to select "Browse". Browse will open Windows Explorer.
|
|
|
|
Assuming the user has write access to the temp directory, create a special directory in temp and copy in the executables of the forbidden applications to this directory. These applications can now be executed and will circumvent the policies established by ZAK. |
