Once in a while, you might want to switch to the Safe Mode in Windows during boot to solve some problems on your computer.
If you find it hard to boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key - you can add the safe mode to the Windows XP boot list. Windows will now ask you whether you want to boot into the normal or safe mode everytime you switch on your computer.
To do this, try the following steps:
Go to Control Panel >> System
In the Advanced Tab, click the Edit button under Startup and Recovery
Add the following entry to the boot.ini file that opens up:
Save the file and exit by pressing Apply, OK
Restart your PC
You now have to options - to enter into the Normal Mode or get into Windows XP using the safe mode.
