This works for the macintosh as well. Holding <SHIFT> down while booting
bypasses extensions. FoolProof for mac does not load, and ZAP! Away
with foolproof (or just to temporarily get it out of your way... just
because you can.) I'm not really a Macintosh guy, but when that's all
you're given on campus through most of your highschool years, you'll
learn to tinker. Also, if you use the resource editor to open up
foolproof Macintosh, you can find a (poorly) encoded password. It's
been 2 or 3 years, but I think it was derived from base 64 or something
silly like that, but memory may serve me incorrectly. Play around. You
may be able to find some registry goodies with FoolProof for Win95 (or if
it doesn't do registry handling...you mentioned it's a TSR), maybe break
out your hex editor on some configuration files.
