We all are quite used to mouse these days. Mouse has greately improved to wireless mouse, portable mouse usb mouse etc but the history of this tiny gadget dates back to some 40 years back Logitech came with the first ever commercially available mouse in 1982. An opto mechanical one, it was made to provide a greater tracking precision then the traditional mechanical mouse and came with the tactical response of a rolling ball. Then the shape changed to square shaped mouse around 1986 with a single button. Now we got as many as 6 buttons and scrollers available with LED base for less power consumption and greater precision.

How to make safe boot appear in every bootup

0 comments


To make the safe boot option appear every time Windows starts up, use the following steps.

  • In windows Xp right click the my computer icon. Select properties and then select the advanced tab and click settings under Start up and Recovery.
In the system start up section click Edit. The BOOT.INI file will open in notepad. Save the fiel as boot_ini.back , this will serve as a backup if anything goes wrong.
  • Now in the boot.ini file locate the operating system entry that you want to boot into safe mode, for example the second entry as below
[boot loader]
Time out = 30
Default = multi(0) disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows
[operating systems]
Multi(0) disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows="windows XP professional"
/fast detect
Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\windows="windows XP professional
Safe boot/ fast detect

You can modify the entry in the second line by adding "safe boot" after "Windows XP Professional" to distinguish between the two Ose.

  • Now in the second entry, after "/fast detect" , add the following line:
/safemode:minimal/sos/bootlog/noguigoot
Now the boot.ini file should look like this
[operating systems]
Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\windows="windows XP professional
Safe boot/ fast detect/safemode:minimal/sos/bootlog/noguiboot

  • Save and close the file
  • Restart the computer now now you can see that the safe mode boot option appears every time windows startsup.
