Does anyone know if the simulation questions monitor the key presses and mouse clicks

:
I ask this as I found that in the simulations you could not open certain windows or type in some dialog boxes.
On one question I got a VBS error when I tried to use the run command.

I 'm partial to using the run command for access items such as ntbackup.exe, compmgmt.msc and dsa.msc, and wondering if attempting to open the necessary tools in the simulation by any other method that the one the simulation wants you to counts against the scoring of that question?
