Writing values to Registry

[frankzappa77]

I was wondering if there are other ways of write registry values to the Windows Registry other than importing a .reg file, and running a .bat file containing a 'reg add/delete/etc ...' command.

As of now, the computers at my school contain value of hex 1 for DisableCMD under HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System. This means that the command prompt is disabled and batch files are allowed to run. My solution to this was to run a batch file containing the appropriate registry value, overwriting the value of hex 1 to hex 0, to allow full access to the command prompt. I have a feeling that this value might be change to hex 2, meaning no access to cmd and no running of batch files.

I was wondering if a script written in another programming language is able to manipulate the windows registry. And if there is a language capable of doing so, will I be able to run it with its native file extension? (ex: .py, .vbs, etc. as opposed to converting it to .exe)

Sorry Frank,

You will need to talk to the school's system administrator about this. Discussing ways to hack or break their policies is not allowed in these forums.
