This may or may not help anyone, but:
Some computers (such as the IBM ThinkCenter
) do not allow you to boot in safe mode. This varies with the type of computer it is (like a prebuilt Dell, HP, IBM etc) and also with software. Usually only computers prebuilt for school use have this safe mode option removed.
I'm not sure what planet you are on but that is definitely incorrect, we are running IBM's and Optima's and both can boot in safe mode without a problem but as CookieRevised has said it can vary in what key is pressed but you will always be allowed to boot in safe mode. What you are thinking is the various ways to get into BIOS as the IBM's we have use ENTER and the Optima's use the standard DEL key to get into BIOS. Another Example is my Toshiba Laptop which uses F2 then F1 to get into BIOS.
No matter what you do Safe Mode is always there as it is considered another avenue to check certain things, remove things, etc, etc. And especially considering when removing a virus, in a school/corporate environment you are expected to remove it in Safe mode, and if I'm not mistaken Most viruses with out a tool, you are expected to go into safe mode to remove it anyway.
So really Safe Mode will always be there, and if it isn't then I suggest making sure you can get Safe mode back on and checking your version of windows isn't a dodgy modified version.
