I'm trying to play some games on my school's computers, but they have restrictions that block .exe files from running. I transferred some games using a USB drive, but it seems like not all my files made it over. When I tried to launch one of the games, Hotline Miami, a message popped up saying that my admin has restricted .exe files. I also have a Minecraft Story Mode icon file—would that work somehow? Is there any way to bypass these restrictions?

I remember back in my school days, sometimes changing the name to something like 'word.exe' would get around the restrictions, but I'm not sure that's an option anymore. Still, breaking school policies isn't the best idea; they're in place for your own benefit.
Honestly, it's not a good idea to try and run your own .exe files on school computers. Those restrictions are there for a reason. Instead of focusing on gaming, maybe you should focus on your studies? You're only in school once, and it's important to get a solid foundation for your future.
Looks like you're stuck on that one! Those policies are pretty strict, so it’s unlikely you’ll find an easy way around them.
Getting around those restrictions might be tough. If you're dealing with an older game that’s been released to the public, you’d still face the same admin block. Your best bet might be to find an account on the PC that's not linked to the admin settings. That might let you run the game without issues.
It's surprising how strict schools can be about this stuff! But honestly, .ico files are just icons—they won’t help you run the actual game files. Most games need to be properly installed to work, so just copying them over usually won’t cut it.
