    One thing though, tried this last week. When you are in safe mode (with network) you cannot connect to the pc remotely (C$ or MSTSC). All the services that allow that are not started, so for remote purposes you can’t use this :) Not even with TeamViewer!

    What is with these entirely worthless walkthroughs? I don't get it.

    Why is it worthless, please elaborate ?

    SpiceHeads try to put out How to's that help the others, no matter whether the How to is something complex or simple. They can be used by others for their users who might want basic instructions and are non-technical.

    hmm.
    you could make a copy of the current boot entry and then set it to safe mode. that way you could go back and forth between safe and regular during testing.

    bcdedit /copy {current} /d “description”
    bcdedit /set {guid of the new entry} safeboot minimal
    you can replace safeboot minimal with other options like safeboot network
