my school used foolproof and i have seen 2 articles
explaining how to take it off but i have another way not
mentioned. maby my school administrators are just idiots but
alot of administrators are idiots too so this might work.
under win 98 (What my school used) you can go to start and
shutdown. and shut it down in MSDOS mode. it went in MSDOS
mode and this was not restricted. i thought they could take
shutting down in MSDOS off but apperantly they didn't. So
others proberly overlooked it too. from here you can take
it off quite easily there's propobly ways of editing the
startup files or something from here but i did it the easy
way. you should be in
C:/Windows directory
type cd.. to get to C:
then
type rename sss ss
(or any name doesn't matter)
(sss was the name of the folder foolproof was in)
then restart.
when it comes up there is a black screen when it loads up
saying something like cannot find file fpvxd.vxd. Hit enter
and it goes away and windows starts to load. Now it is
unrestricted and you can do whatever you want.
(At this point you may want to install a key logger restart
with fool proof loaded and get the teacher or administrator
to type in the password. Mine was so stupid i changed the
background setting and said I could change it back but i you
need to take foolproof off and he did. if you do that you
can just type in the password to take it off next time)
IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET CAUGHT. MAKE SURE YOUR RENAME THE
FILE IN MY CASE SS BACK TO SSS (OR THE ORIGINAL NAME). You
can rename it in windows you dont have to go back to DOS
since your now unrestricted so next time windows loads up
foolproof comes up like nothing happened.

Will Bradley:
me and my buddies in 7th grade had the fortune of coming
across win95 machines with foolproof on them. apparently
whoever installed foolproof was a complete idiot (or we had
an earlier version) because there was no bootlocking or
partition changing on the machines- all we had to do was
restart in safe mode and delete the pest. the "admin" didnt
even notice.
