Here is a way to get a safemode option in your restart/shutdown menu.
This is for XP don't know if it works with anything else.
1. Open the System Properties dialog box. You can do this from
Control Panel (click System) or by pressing the Windows key + the
Break key.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.
4. Click the Edit button under System Startup. This opens the
boot.ini file in Notepad.
5. One line should end with "/fastdetect" (NOT "/fastdetect /sos").
Copy that line.
6. Paste the line you just copied below the original line. Change
"WINDOWS=Microsoft XP Professional" to "WINDOWS="Safe Mode" and
add the following text to the end of the line: /safeboot:minimal
/sos /bootlog
7. Save the file and click OK to exit the dialog boxes. Note: If you
named the Windows XP installation folder something other than
WINDOWS when you installed XP, that name will appear instead of
WINDOWS in step 6.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
