I have a problem; I want to run Van Dale Pocketwoordenboeken ( = dictionary software) at school from my iPod (works on any other PC), but Windows XP (SP 3) tells me there's an SRP. Is there another way to run the application anyway?

"Right-Click" the application you wish to open and select "send to: compressed ZIP". Then open the Zip folder and "Double click" the EXE inside.

It should now open as normal

I'll be sure to give it a try on Tuesday.

Also you can run as then choose your username or another username and it should work.

Even better: boot of a pendrive and do what you want.

Well, "Run as" won't work, as the right mouse button is disabled.
What do you mean with "boot of a pendrive"?

He probably means to install an OS (most likely Linux) on a USB flash disk and then boot from it.

I'm not sure if that will work since you might need a password to access the BIOS to change the boot order. Some motherboards though allow you to press a key to select where to boot from.
Keep in mind that older motherboards do not support booting from USB.

I tried the ZIP thingy today, but it doesn't work as expected. I think the EXE itself is allowed to run, but it needs a bunch of dlls, which cannot be found.

The booting thingy: does that involve installing an os on my (30 GB) iPod?

Nope, you can use the OS in a 'live' state. It's like booting off a hard-disk really.

lol. Try drag it into the cd drive like you're going to write a CD. That works for me at school as theres no policy set on the folder it copies it to. Same with files in zips put into %temp%. If the CD drive is disabled in explorer, you can use the open or save file dialog in an installed program.

Also, about booting from a flashdrive or CD, the BIOS config most likely has a password set on it.

Well, booting from a flash device won't work:

I (probably) don't have admin access at school.

About the cd drive thingy: I'll give it a try tomorrow.
