There are many ways you can accomplish this...

First a couple questions:

1. Are you trying to disable it on a network or on a local machine
2. Are you trying to disable it from every user
3. What version of windows are you using

i want to disable only on my computer nut for all users and can you tell me how to activate tooo and i am using windows xp home edition.

thanks, N/A

[SyntaXmasteR]

Well XP home edition limits your options...

My best solution would be to delete the cmd shortcut from
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\accessories\cmd

and also in each users directory

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\accessories\cmd

Next disable RUN in the registry. Unless a user really knows what they are doing, they will have a hard time getting to the command prompt

Hope this helps ya~

well that didnt answer my question
In school you get security for computers and when you log on tyour server space and when you try CP it's not working It Says "the command prompt has benn diabled by your addministrator"
how do you do that at home?????

Sorry i took for granted that you had a little knowledge about restrictions and computers. Your question was confusing also.

To answer your question: YOU CANT

This is why i explained a method of hiding it another way. The only reason it says that when you log into a computer at school is becuase active directory is restricting the process cmd.exe from running. Click start...run... and type mmc (Microsoft Management Console) This is what is blocking you from getting to the command prompt in school. You cant control that in windows xp home edition.

"The command prompt is disabled"...na... all that means is that the process cmd.exe cannot be running. Can you get to notepad? Well there ya go! Write up a batch script in notepad and run it if you cant do it manually~ If you can do it manually and the c: drive is hidden, open winword.exe (Microsoft Word) and hyperlink c:\ ~ Click it and theres your security hole.

In my eyes there are no such things as restrictions in windows...

BUT I DONT KNOW HGOW TO WRITE A BATCH SCRIPT, HOW DO I WRITE???

in notepad write this:

start

save the file as "anything.bat" and execute it. you may try this before or after you have successfully restricted access to cmd.exe.

If he cant write a batch script i dont think he knows the commands associated w/ writing them. Learn all about it here: http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm#11

This should start you off just fine~ Once you learn and understand the commands you will see how they tie into your system and controlling it.

you mean after u save it u reopen it and you can run it

[SyntaXmasteR]

When you create the file in notepad you have to save it as a .bat - Yes you can click and run a .bat file - Just like you can click and run an .exe file

Thank you for the help

[satarul]

yeah, so you started from hiding your cmd.exe, and ended in learning how to access it from where it's hidden (at school for example). so in fact, is this what you want to find out? ask what you want to know, so people can really help you.

[SyntaXmasteR]

Yes, please stop the foreplay and get straight to your questions ~ You cant get in trouble for knowlege...
