Although I'm reluctant to recommend it, during the boot sequence, before you
get the log-in screen, hit the reset button.

Windows usually picks up that there has been an incomplete load last time
around and should ask if you want to start in safe mode.

The reason I'm reluctant to recommend it is because you are resetting
douring disk activity which can, as you know cause consequences further down
the line.  Sice during boot up most of the disk access is reading and
writing to cache it's not normally too disasterous to interupt it, the cache
gets re-written at boot everytime so if the write is corrupted there it's
not a problem.

Hi Paul,
Hiitin F8 has no effect, it just carries on to the login point.

The only interruption I can arrange is Del key to access BIOS, where I can
access Load Fail Safe Defaults, or Load Optimised Defaults.
