In order to accomplish his goal, petro12 needs to access these
two features:
Local Users and Groups
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/5824/0735616310-10.gif
Local Security Settings
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prdd_sec_nmzo.asp
Those are features only available in XP Professional.
If you know of some way that booting XP Home Edition in Safe
Mode allows access to them you'd be doing the rest of us an
invaluable service by passing that tip along.
The only two major capabilities that become available to XP
Home Edition running in Safe Mode are access to the built-in
Administrator account and the ability to modify NTFS
permissions. Neither would help solve the original question.
