    Actually, this works for pretty much any Win9x 'security' add-on.  If the startup menu is disabled (most add-on hacks let you do this without the text file editing normally required) , a well timed flick of the power switch will enable you to start in safe mode.

    I figured this much out -- if you are running on FoolProof for the PC
    (Win9x) and you boot up in safe mode (with or without network support) it
    will bypass the FoolProof TSR and enable full privileges, even deleting
    the FoolProof directory.
