=================================

Put The Safe Mode Option On The Boot Menu.
Rather than hitting the F8 button when you boot up in order to gain access
to Safe Mode, why not add a Safe Mode option to the boot up menu. Then, when
you boot your machine, you will have the option of booting directly into
your operating system or, alternatively, booting directly into Safe Mode.

Excellent! That's really useful info.
