Safe mode is the diagnostic mode of Windows. When you start the computer in Safe mode, only the specific components that are needed to run the operating system are loaded.
If you are running in safe mode you will see the words "Safe Mode" in all the corners of your desktop, only then you are certain you're running in safe mode.

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.
The only thing it might depend on, in theory, is OS version, but certainly not the computer...
And AFAIK you can always boot in safe mode in Windows, you can not remove that. It might be possible that the boot sequence goes so fast you don't have the time to press F5, F8 or the CTRL key or whatever other function key to select alternative boot methods, but that has little to do with all this.
Also note: to access safe mode, you have more possebilities than just pressing F8, eg: you can instruct windows to boot up in safe mode next time it starts up too. And it also depends on OS. See "
