Default Getting around OS9

Hi, I use PC's at home, but I use Mac OS 9.2 at school, and seeing I'll be using it for some time, does anybody know of any useful hacks with OS9 (foolproof on). Is there a way to override foolproof, or anything like that? I'd like to know! Even if you think I know it, I probebly don't.

well OS9 is pretty much hack proof when its locked up because it has no command prompt to run stuff from nor the ability to run apple scripts (no doubt foolproof blocks the running of apple scripts, which are pretty much your only options in a pre-OSX environment).

Sorry dude, I dont think I can help.
I think your school's comp is locked for a reason. Dont try to tamper with it or else you may find yourself in a heap of trouble.

Hmm, there could be a reason it's called "foolproof" :rolleyes:
I agree with G5... the computers are locked to keep students from wandering away from their work/studies. The school computers are not there for your enjoyment, only your education Which, is invaluable when used correctly

agreeing with G5 and mac_mogul but just curious, what exactly are you trying to do that foolproof is preventing you from doing?
