Small surprises can also run programs under Win7 lock state

        Windows 7 has been on sale for nearly 3 years, and license sales have broken six and seven (unit: 100 million). All kinds of computer products are also pre-installed with genuine Win7 system. I believe that all of you are no strangers to Win7 today, and most of the regular skills are mastered, so you don't need to introduce too much. However, today's Xiaobian wants to introduce a more interesting thing, which can produce unexpected results.

Win7 computer is the mainstream now. Perhaps many people have never thought of it: you can use the program to do what you want to do when the system is locked. What, you don't believe? No problem, after reading this article and then try it yourself, you will believe it.

It's a good habit to lock your computer when you are away. In normal work, when you need to temporarily leave the computer for a while, some people will get used to "locking" the computer (Win + L). When the computer enters the locked state, you need to enter the correct login password to reuse it. However, you may not know that, through some small means, you can run a program in the locked state. In the lower left corner of the computer lock screen there is an easy-to-access button that modifies Windows accessibility settings to make the computer easier to view (some special people). The program corresponding to this button is the Utilman.exe file in the C:\\Windows\\System32 directory, which may be negligence (and possibly other reasons). Running in the locked state for easy access does not require any verification, that is, as long as it is Files of the same name can be run. Want to try it? Let's start with a simple point and replace it with the calculator program that comes with the system. First we need to rename the original Utilman.exe file. It should be noted here that due to the security mechanism of Windows 7, modifying any file in the Windows system folder requires the highest permission separately, even if you log in as an administrator. Windows 7 does this to improve the security of system files and reduce the chance of being tampered with by malware. The specific method has been introduced before, you can check out this article. After getting the highest privilege, you can rename the original file to Utilman_bak.exe (or whatever name), then find the calculator program calc.exe in the System32 directory, copy it and paste it in place, which will generate a " The calc - copy .exe file is renamed Utilman.exe.

Copying a calculator program and then changing the name After the above work is completed, press Win + L to lock the computer, then click the Easy Access button in the lower left corner of the screen to see if it jumps out of the calculator.

So, can any program be implemented with this method? Xiaobian tried some other programs and found that there are certain restrictions on running the program on the lock screen. First, the program can run independently in a single file. If the program has a large number of other attached files, you need to copy all the files to the system32 directory. Secondly, it seems that there is only one window in the lock screen. If the software has a function to open a new window (such as opening a file), it will not be activated normally. This means that the possibility of watching a movie in a locked state is very low, at least a small attempt. It is a pity that it was not successful at the time. On the other hand, this method also has a little security risk and is only suitable for use on your own computer. If you want to use it in the office and other occasions, it is best not to use the CMD command line and other procedures to replace it. In case it is used by others, it will not be worth the loss.
