Topic: Add « Safe Mode » to Windows 2000 & Windows XP start up

[joudi]

If you feel the need to the ?Safe Mode? so often, you don?t have to press the F8 key every time. There?s another way too:

Right click on "My Computer", "Propriety", "Advance", and then Click on ?Setting" in the section ?Start and Recovery". In the new window click on ?Modify" in the section "Start System". Then you?ll see the part ?Operating System" in a Word-Pad. It?s usually written similar to this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect

Copy that same line again and past it on a new line just after the original.

Now, you need to replace Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition in that new added line with the following:

Safe Mode between the enverted commas

And add just after the inverted commas the following:

/safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog

So, at the end you?ll get something like that:

multi(0) disk(0) rdisk(0) partition(1) \WINDOWS="Safe Mode" /fastdetect /safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog.

save it and click ?OK? to all.

If you restart your computer after that, you usually must have the extra option at the start up, which is "SAFE MODE".
