[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Boot into Safe Mode

Posted: 8/22/2008 10:42:18 AM EDT

I have run into a situation where a computer won't boot normally...only in safe mode. This computer resides on a small remote network as a temp file server (until the WAN speeds up).

Long story short...I fucking hate working on computers and want to bandaid this situation since it'll be changed in a few weeks when I get a REAL server there.

I want it to boot into Safe mode w/networking everytime...nobody actually uses this machine its just a temporary file server (Win XP SP3).

Any fellow IT nerds have an idea on accomplishing this task?

THANKS!!
