I am configuring my PC with Windows XP Professional and I would like a
specific user (without admin rights) not being able to enter "safe mode"

How can I prevent the user from entering "safe mode"? For example
allowing "safe mode" only for admin users.

Please, tell me if this is possible or if there is another alternative.

Thank you in advance.
