This is where cross-posting comes into its own: If you think
carefully about your question, then cross-post it in all
relevant newsgroups, every respondent in every group can
see your post and every reply. This prevents duplication
of effort.

The answer to your question is already in your initial post
in this thread: Use a script to modify c:\boot.ini. Either
you add or you remove the switch "/safeboot:minimal" from
the last line. Alternatively you create two boot.ini files:
boot.ini(Safe), which has the switch, and boot.ini(Normal),
which does not have the switch. You then copy one or the
other to boot.ini. You can do this with a single line of batch
code or with a small number of script lines.
