Brings system up with directory services disabled with the intent of recovering active directory. Safe mode boot is guided by the registry key hklm\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot with the use of the Minimal and Network subkeys. The IOManger and service control manager looks at the resgistry to load the driver and services. This way it will avoid loading a problematic driver or service. 4. Command prompt. Provides an alternate command shell CMD.EXE instead of the explorer. This is dictated by the registry key hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell. There is a Safe-Mode boot loophole. Since NTLDR loads "Boot Load" drivers, these drivers bypass the IO Manager's safe Mode check.
