IBM Thinkpad R40
512MB Memory
40 GB HDD (partitioned)
1.3 GHz Intel Centrino
Windows XP Professional

The story: our school handed out laptops to all students (at a hefty price, $950 one-year lease for seniors). They have several accounts on them: Administrator, School, Home, and Exam11 are the biggest (might be a couple more). Administrator is for fixing our computer as it has rights to everything. School is for school use, is able to connect to the network, use Outlook, etc but has Windows Media Player, AOL, AIM, Pokerstars and about every fun program blocked and has controls to the network and such blocked; Home has nothing blocked but you cannot use Outlook you have to usee the website to access school mail and you do not have access to the network drives; and Exam11 is for the ExamView Player to take tests online.
The error is something to this extent: "This program has been restricted by your system administrator during this time."
Is there any way at all to somehow remove these restrictions on the School account?

Goal: Be able to use programs on my school account so I can access the network drives and Outlook, also.

Thanks in advance to all who will attempt to help!
