As a kid I loved doing this in every museum/library/other place that always had 'locked down' interactive Windows systems back in my youth.
One of my favorite ones was in a museum where I was with a friend, and there was a PC. We were bored and wanted to play some flash game, but we only had access to a mouse, and clicking links inside the locked fullscreen browser. With enough clicks we got to google and managed to copy/paste letter by letter the name of a game site in the search field and play some games.

- pricci 4y agoAlthough using the on-screen keyboard in accessibility settings would have been easier (if that existed back then), I like your creative young mind.
- orlp 4y agoWe couldn't access anything but the browser window in fullscreen, only using the mouse. No start menu, tray icons, keyboard shortcuts, etc. I'm sure there's like 100 different ways to break these bad Windows kiosks so that you'd eventually end up being able to access the accessibility settings, but it wasn't directly accessible to us.
