Please type MSCONFIG in Run box
pick BOOT.INI tab
Wesley Vogel said:Edit the boot.ini or...
Use the System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe).
Edit the boot.ini by adding these switches:
/safeboot:minimal(alternateshell)
[[Safe Mode with Command Prompt (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal(AlternateShell)):
This option is the same as Safe mode, except that Cmd.exe starts instead
of
Windows Explorer.]]
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
Boot.ini tab | Select the following:
/SAFEBOOT
MINIMAL (ALTERNATESHELL)
Those two settings get you this switch >>>
/safeboot:minimal(alternateshell)
/safeboot: = This switch causes Windows to start in Safe Mode.
minimal(alternateshell) = Command Prompt (cmd.exe), if...
This switch starts Windows in Safe Mode with a command prompt...
If these keys have the AlternateShell Value Data listed as cmd.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot
and/or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\SafeBoot
and/or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot
Value Name: AlternateShell
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: cmd.exe
[[Note: The /sos, /bootlog, and /noguiboot switches are not required with
any one of these settings, but the switches can help with troubleshooting.
These switches are included if you press F8 and then select one of the
modes. ]]
++++++++++++
I forgot to add...
Edit the boot.ini by adding these switches.
/safeboot:minimal(alternateshell)
===
After making those boot.ini changes using msconfig, you need to click
Apply
and Close.
Then click on: Restart.
===
After booting into the Safe Mode with the Command Prompt.
And when you're done using the command prompt...
Close the command prompt by typing:
exit
Hit the Enter key.
Or...
Click on the Close [X].
Or...
Start the Windows shell.
Type:
explorer
Hit the Enter key.
Or...
Open Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Esc | File | New Task (Run...) | Type: explorer | Click
OK |
Either way, this warning will come up.
--------
Desktop Warning
Windows is running in safe mode.
This special diagnostic mode of windows enables you to fix a
problem which may be caused by your network or hardware
settings. Make sure these settings are correct in Control Panel, and
then try starting Windows again. While in safe mode, some of your
devices may not be available.
To proceed to work in safe mode, click Yes. If you prefer to use
System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, click
No.
--------
Also, when done doing whatever, you need to open msconfig again...
Open Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Esc | File | New Task (Run...) | Type: msconfig | Click
OK |
UNSelect: /SAFEBOOT under the boot.ini tab | Click Apply |
Under the General tab Select: Normal Startup - load all device drivers and
services | Click Apply and Close
Or...
Open Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Esc | File | New Task (Run...) | Type: explorer | OK
|
And open msconfig from Start | Run
Or Windows key + R to open the run box.

That's correct. I'm not responsible for our state governments refusing to

I was also the first to point out problems with Sydney 2000 DST dates.

I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it.
Quigley Down Under is one of my favorite, er.............. Westerns.
Who says my education has been pedestrian?

I've explained it a few times in the last 5 days. The you below was
to a pom.
Daylight saving was extended by one week for your crappy Empire Games
being held in the colony of Victoria. The queen (ours - Elizabeth the
Second, Queen Of Australia and Her other Realms - and yours) couldn't
be bothered to stay for longer than one day.
-----
That's correct. I'm not responsible for our state governments refusing
to obey MS. Nor am I responsible for the Empire games (of which I saw
NUFFIN of) which caused DST to be extended by a week. But the games
ended on Sunday.
I was also the first to point out problems with Sydney 2000 DST dates.
Which started in winter - that was wierd.
I could type timezone as I have resource kit installed. But I think
dates shouldn't change.

Has Australia gone to Daylight Saving Time now or something? Your
clock is messed up.

This is my boot.ini. It matches the first path found, all three
options above have the same path so it will take the switches for
the first. The switch you want is /noguiboot (it's not in my list).
You can script it with
a/ the copy command - note boot.ini needs it attributes changed to
be able to copy over it
b/ bootcfg program - type it in help.

Choose Command Prompt only from the boot menu.
You and Wesley hit on the same idea....is there a way to force this
start mode without user interaction, then clear it later? In Win
98 I can use MSDOS.SYS (bootgui=0) to do this, and in XP I was
hoping for a similar BOOT.INI setting.

Wesley Vogel said:No, I didn't see it. I hate it when a long reply gets deleted. For me it's
usually something that took a while to type and of course I never saved a
copy.
It didn't make it to Google either.

Wesley Vogel said:All of our laws, except for Louisiana, are based on British common law,
the magna carta and such. Louisiana is based on Napoleonic something
or other and they have parishes and not counties like the other 49
states.
Do you have counties in Australia?

Your states quote King James in the Supreme court often as he set the
boundaries and water rights etc for those 13 rebel terrorist colonies.
While George W (no nor Bush but ashington) wasn't a terrorist the other
theatre did use terror to make the population, which was mostly loyal to
the crown, give up. The British didn't realise that terror was going to
be employed and didn't protect the population. Terror can be quite
effective.

LOL I had to read your message twice to see the "The you below was to
a pom." Because I am pretty certain that we have not had a queen here
for a couple of hundred years. ;-)
I learned all about pommies from the movie Quigley Down Under.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102744/
My favorite lines...
Elliott Marston: [O'Flynn and Dobkin prepare Quigley for an
old-fashioned duel] I seem to remember you're not too familiar with
Colonel Colt's revolver, so this will be your first lesson. Don't
worry. Mr Dobkin and Mr. O'Flynn will ensure that it's a fair contest.
<snip>
Matthew Quigley: [Quigley shoots Dobkin, O'Flynn and Marston before
they can even aim their guns, then walks up to a dying Marston] I said
I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it.
Quigley Down Under is one of my favorite, er.............. Westerns.
