Only the very first version of FoolProof that we installed could be
disabled by holding down the Shift key. Only the first and second version
of FoolProof could be disabled by holding down the Space Bar to bring up
the Extensions Manager. FoolProof advised users to remove the Extensions
Manager from the Hard Drives.
By the third version, FoolProof locked the Hard Drive if you succedded with
removing the FoolProof Extension. And, by the time that we used FoolProof
on the Library Macs, we were usually locking the Hard Drives if someone
booted from a Floppy or a CD-ROM disc.
There are four items that need to be removed. The FoolProof Extension from
the Extensions Folder, the FoolProof Control which wasn't a Control Panel
and could be located anywhere or even missing being used from a Floppy
Disk, the Foolproof Preferences from the Preferences Folder, and ... I
can't remember the forth.
