When you do f-8 and choose safe mode command prompt or safe mode with
network support - what
profile is used ? What registry key shows the name
of the profile currently being used. I know the subkeys
beneath the 'profilelist' key specify each Username
with a profile in the registry - but if i start up in safe
mode with network support what registry can I look
at that says "this is the profile currently being used
this session". thanks , bob
