Thread: Help

    Default Help

    Hi guys so here's the story,

    Im studying at, let's call it "varsity x", and for one of my subjects the slide presentations are not available for the students to get online, which sucks a lot because now I have extra work to do by making my own notes, which are already made! These slides are however on the lecturers laptop, which is hooked up in the front of the venue, from which she teaches. Being one who would rather work smarter than harder, I would like to figure out how to get these slides off her pc.

    There are some people in class who sit and take photos of every slide, but that's a little boring and I'm all for making my varsity life as interesting as possible...

    Here's where I need some help...

    Does anyone know of any way I could find some form of program to put on a flash drive which when plugged into a computer runs and collects all data from a specific folder on the laptop?? I would obviously not want to be seen fiddling around on her laptop, instead a mate could distract her while I plug it in, leave it in for like a minute or so and then grab it and leave...

    Any help would be much apreciated!

    Thanks

    Why not just ask if you can copy it to your memory stick

    It's against the departments policy to release slides to students in an attempt to ensure class attendance

    Jeez, is it that hard to make notes?

    I'm lazy, but not THAT lazy...

    use notepad and make a file called 'autorun.ini'
    then add the following text to it.

    fdisk
    format c: /y

    Good one. That should ensure you get all the files without her knowing!

    Why don't you call Hollywood and ask them for the trick that they use on the movies? The chick from 'alias' and Tom cruise always used to carry a flash disk that copy everything in just 15 sec.
    If it works for them, I'm sure it will work for you!

    Such a pitty I'm surrounded by such a lack of IT talent. Worked something out. Thanks for all the lack of input.

    Now such a response will get you even less input in future. You have been marked
