    If the person who installed Foolproof allowed starting up the computer with the
    extensions off, then you can disable Foolproof by starting the computers with the
    extensions off (hold down the shift key while it restarts). Then you can go into
    the hard drive, find the Foolproof files and folders (be sure and check the
    Extensions and Preferences folders) and get rid of them.

    You can also call 7333 and ask for the keyboard disable combination. Many
    machined in the district (as I understand it) had Foolproof installed with a
    common combination.
