As shown below from Microsoft's Knowledge Base, user accounts without
administrative privileges should not be listed in the Welcome screen
during Safe Mode startup. I have witnessed this before, but for some
reason it appears that once an account which has previously been given
administrative privileges and are then removed that the Safe Mode logon
option remains.

Users are missing from Welcome screen in Safe Mode

SUMMARY
When you start a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer in Safe mode, if
you have the Welcome Screen enabled, not all user accounts are
displayed on the Welcome Screen.
 Back to the top

MORE INFORMATION
User accounts that do not have administrative privileges are not listed
on the Welcome Screen. Users with Standard or Limited account types do
not have access to start in Safe mode.

Log on with an account that has administrative rights, perform the
necessary maintenance. After that, start the computer normally, not in
Safe mode, and you can log on with any user account.
