The second best way of accessing Linux system from Windows is PuTTY.  If you
can't install any software on the machine (and PuTTY is a single exe file
that can be placed on your desktop) why not try and put it on a USB disk and
then run it from there?

For the best way drop an Knoppix CD (or any live CD) into the CDROM/DVD
drive and boot of that!
