Disable Boot to SAFE MODE

[maxXPsoft]

I haven't found an easy way around this yet but I do know a way to get past it.

What it does is exactly what it say's. Found this in 1st Security. Credit due

We know that when you boot to Safe Mode it's unprotected or at least in XP Home version, I haven't checked in Pro yet so maybe someone can verify. Unless you boot to Safe Mode and set a password on Administrator account it's totally wide open.

NOTICE: You will be blocked also unless you know how to get past it.

Navigate to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot]

Export the entire Section. Make a backup copy and drop it in C:\ for now.

Now ADD 2 entries in your export at the very beginning

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot]

"DisableSafeMode1"="-Minimal"

"DisableSafeMode2"="-Network"

Edit your export and change all the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal]

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\-Minimal]

Edit your export and change all the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network]

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\-Network]

Now reboot and choose Safe Mode, rolls through the driver loading and reboots without ever entering Safe Mode.

Just finished on a Fresh Pro install and this worked there also.
