{moderator's note: even though this question has been asked, answered, and people > have been thanked, here's another tip - ma)
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.
