Problems conecting phone to computer.

A question for all those super lovely IT folk, for whom I have never had a bad word to say, ever

My works fabulous IT team in all their omnipotent and infallible wisdom have blocked me downloading any exe files meaning I can't connect my phone to the computer for anything other than power. Is there any way I can get round this so I can install the driver disk so I may upload work related files on to it.

I cross my heart and hope to die that I will not be nasty and screw the system up…on purpose which by the way is windows XP

Have they bared the CD tray or usb ports ( or the running of EXE's from them ) ?

If CD working use that

If usb working copy the CD onto a usb memory stick

Regards

I couldn't get the CD to install but I'll try the USB idea, cheers

rename the .exe to .doc and then copy it to the PC. Once copied change it back to exe. Also zip the file and once on the pc unzip it.
