OP crafts a bmp file in paint, which when renamed to `.bat` runs the command that opens a shell window (cute!).

I don't have access to a Windows machine, but isn't it possible to achieve the same by writing `cmd.exe` directly to a text file in Notepad? Or is Notepad typically off limits as well in such locked down systems?
