Thanks to this method, it's gotten me out of sticky situations MANY times, when the F8 thing failed me for a few months. not sure why. probably spyware. anyhoo.

and guys, unless you wanna keep booting into safe mode, make sure to change it back BEFORE you restart. just uncheck the /safeboot when you're done doing what you need to do in safe mode.
