System Extensions System extensions are located in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder. For a system extension to be active, it must be located in the Extensions folder when the system starts up. Extensions are not loaded if the shift key is held down while the system is starting up. The "Extensions Disabled" message has been replaced with the text "Extensions Off" for consistency with documentation and terminology.
