how can you open c:drive in turing?

[siczy]

is there any method that we can use to open C drive in turing?

control panal too~

thanks

[Andy]

what do you mean open c: drive? browse it? or open up the folder? opening up the folder is impossible (i think), but browsing is possible... i think catalyst did something like that.

[siczy]

my account is limited in Win2x,i want to open the c drive somehow

[Andy]

o, not possible.. i dont think at least... you can execute exes from c drive using turing, but i dont know why you'd need to do that... this can be down in c++ tho, cuz you can open up dos using vc and you can then cpy files from the c drive to your own account

[siczy]

hehe~never mind then~i'm just curious

[siczy]

can you help me with the kind of sorting method?

[Andy]

sorting method? what sorting method? i didnt say nothing about sorting...

[Mazer]

i'm not sure what kind of help you need with sorting but it turns out it is possible to access (open) the c: using turing. good ol' Sys.Exec!

code:

if Sys.Exec ("C:") then end if

i just used an if statement because Sys.Exec is a function, and therefore returns a value. you could also have put Sys.Exec ("C:") but it'd be dumb to have a window pop up and say true.

or you can copy a shortcut to something (anything), then select the shortcut, press ALT+ENTER (assuming the admin has restricted right-clicking), and change the shortcut path to wherever you want to go. problem with that one is that i think someone found out about that last year and now i can't use ALT+ENTER, and even bringing in a copy of a shortcut to c: didn't work for some reason.

but the moral of the story is this: stop trying to get access to areas that people don't want you getting into, because that's bad. so, there you go.

OMG!!! ahhh, nick, dang, you have too much free time... oh man... thats cool.. i'd give you bits, but u dont need them and i need them lol

% HERE IS YOUR PROGRAM:
var number : int
var file : string
put "Enter number 1 for C DRIVE"
put "Enter number 2 for A DRIVE"
put "Enter number 3 for D DRIVE"
put skip
put "Enter your number now: " ..
get number


% CHECKS WHICH NUMBER HAS BEEN PRESSED
loop
if number = 1 then
file := "c:"
exit
elsif number = 2 then
file := "a:"
exit
elsif number = 3 then
file := "d:"
exit
else
put "Enter the correct number (1,2,3): " ..
get number
end if

end loop


% DISPLAYS
if not Sys.Exec (file) then
put "An Error Has Occured while opening the Drive ", file, " ", Error.LastMsg
else
put "Success"
if number = 1 then
put "Drive C will open now"
elsif number = 2 then
put "Drive A will open now"
else
put "Drive D will open now"
end if
end if

All you hae to do is just use the Sys.Exec statements.

[Andy]

unmm... thats what mazer wrote

[Mazer]

hmm.... i didn't think you'd be able to open control panel but i guess you can. not very different either

code:

if Sys.Exec ("Control Panel") then end if

but i don't think you'd need it. even on school computers you can get to the control panel, but there isn't much you can do there so it's pretty useless.

[Andy]

not at our school, you cant even access control panel anymore... we got to change our pass by using ctrl alt del now

oh? geez! if i were a highschool compsci teacher i'd give everyone in my class (the one's who cared about comspsci, anyways) teacher accounts so they could do all the shit they want.

[Andy]
