The funnest school computer exploit I figured out was how to run a game from a USB drive (circa 2007). I was in an accounting class (using excel) and I tended to finish the earliest with our in-class work because of judicious use of formulas and copy-paste (instead of entering data twice for the two-ledger stuff). The computers were set to disallow running unapproved programs, but I figured out that you could launch an executable from within a zip file (the computers ran XP IIRC). The only thing left to do was to configure the game at home (before zipping it up) to save files, look for other config, etc. from the the drive letter the thumbdrive would be mounted at at school because it of course couldn't save the updated settings to the zip file. I had a good teacher - he let me sit at the back, and I just kept the volume down :)
