A CMD lookalike batch file

The batch file was inspired by a story my dad told me about a freind of his,
my dads freind made a program that look exactly like command prompt,
but completly ignored the users input!
mine only uses cls
^*EDIT*^ Fixed the code it was because of a missing registryor something like that
anyway here is the code
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:start
echo(
set /p input=C:\Users\Admin\Desktop^>
if /i "%input%"=="%input%" goto start

I made a full CMD batch file a while ago because I couldn't use CMD.exe:
Code: Select all
@echo off
:cmdloop
set /p cmd=%cd%^>
%cmd%
goto cmdloop
The only thing it can't do is 'echo off', although that would have a simple fix
Just thougth I'd share this one

Off the top of my head I can think of a few other things it can't do
- Line continuation
- Multi-line code blocks enclosed by parentheses
- Can't change the PROMPT
- Normal variable expansion fails unless command prefixed with CALL (which fails for FOR or IF commands)
Then there are things it can do that CMD.EXE can't
- SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL
- ECHO ON will of course expose BAT file
- exit with GOTO :EOF
I'm sure there are other differences.

Yeah, yeah. I know. It's good enough to get around the blocking of CMD.exe at my school

Most definitely
A place where you can't access CMD.EXE
