A completely anecdotal and interesting situation is one that we could be enjoying in Windows 7, something that we have accurately described in the previous headline. But maybe you're still wondering about What exactly will we do with little tricks inside Windows 7?
As every good user of Windows 7 or a different operating system knows, to block the operating system temporarily we only need perform a key combination (Win + L), This with the aim that no one can enter our work environment without first entering the password. Now, what we are going to try to do through a few tricks is the possibility of opening a game or light application installed in Windows 7, but without having to unlock it to enter the system. How will we do it? Well, keep reading this article and you will find out about it.
Basics of "Total Control" in Windows 7
What we have described above must necessarily rely on a small tool that comes from third-party developers, which are well known due to each of the proposals that have been presented mainly for those who work with mobile phones. We are referring toyou guys from XDA, who have offered a small tool that we can download completely free. The only problem is that this tool has to be copied into a Windows 7 system directory, which is "System32".
As we well know, to protect the security and stability of this operating system (or any other from Microsoft), it is practically impossible to copy any type of elements within said directory. For this reason, whoever is going to perform this little trick should have "full control" of the "System32" folder, same that we will find it inside the Windows directory and in the drive "C: /" generally.
Get "Full Control" of a system directory in Windows 7
Now, what we have suggested above is one of the easiest tasks to perform if we know some specialized computing; having the «total control» of this folder and directory (System32) will allow us to have to make certain modifications to your environment. In our case, a door will open for us to copy the folder that we will obtain from the download that we have suggested for this article and with the stated objective. Generally speaking, gaining "full control" means doing the following:
- Open Windows 7 file explorer.
- Go to the System32 folder within the Windows directory.
- Click on this folder with the right mouse button.
- The context menu choose Properties.
- Now we will go to the tab «Security«.
The window will show us a few characteristics that we must manage, which is divided into 2 specific areas. One of them refers to the possibility of «edit»Names of groups or users, who could act as administrators within this operating system. At the bottom instead we will find the «Advanced Options", Where we could modify these parameters to have" full control "of the System32 directory.
Install the third-party app in Windows 7
If we are sure that we have "Total Control" of the folder suggested above, then we can continue with the steps that will help us achieve the goal set from the beginning:
- Head towards this forum link to download the CPRU software.
- Unzip the content using one of the specialized applications for that purpose.
- We will have to copy the folder obtained from the CPRU file to the System32 directory, of which we previously obtained "total control".
- We enter into this new folder and look for the file CPRU_1.1_Enable.
- On this file we click a right button of the mouse and we execute it with Administrator Permissions.
These are the only steps we need to do, after which we must restart our operating system for the changes to take effect. Now, to be able to observe the trick that we have considered performing in this Windows 7, we could intentionally block the screen. The only thing we will need to do at this moment is to click on the small button that is located in the lower left part (accessibility options), with which our "command prompt" will appear within its options, thus being able to open a window command terminal.
There we will only have to write the command that executes a specific application, being able to use, for example, "calc.exe" to run the calculator or "start iexplorer.exe" to open the Internet Explorer browser.
