When I boot up my pc normally I have 2 desktops.
1 for others (guests) and 1 for me (John) so there is a choice of 2.
When I boot in safe mode I get a choice only for administrator or others
and
not for me (John)
If I go with administrator I cant access my desktop and the same with
others, I tried going via C drive and and also switching users to no
avail,
it also denies me access if I try accessing this way. ( I am the admin
account on the PC)
How can I boot in safe mode on to my desktop?

thanks

What happen when you tried with the administrator, did it give an error
message?.
Try to log with administrator and leave the Password blank unless you
setup
a password during installation of the OS enter this, if not then leave
blank.
Why you would like to log into safe mode and are you able to log into
Normal
mode ?, if yes try to create another account with admin privileges and
seee
if that will log in both Modes, if so your accoutn for (john) is corrupted
and you need to copy the data from John to John1 <= your new account 4
example.

There was no error message when I logged on as administrator.
I have set a password and using it does give me access to admin.
I was using safe mode in order to run some virus scan checks, I had
downloaded the programme to my desktop but when in safe mode could not
access my desktop, so had to scan in normal mode, so yes I can log in in
normal mode.
