Add Safe Mode to Win7, XP boot Menu

Add Safe Mode to the boot menu of Win 7

Because the Windows 7 boot menu uses the BCD profile, we simply add the Safe Mode menu to the BCD file. BCD file editing can be done with "Bcdtool".

1. After starting "Bcdtool", open "C:BOOTBCD", then expand to "Windows Boot Manager →windows boot loader" and click "edit → copy startup item" On the menu bar to copy the current startup item to the list.

2. When the copied startup item is selected, double-click the Description (name) in the right pane to open it, change its name to Safe mode, and after the Safe Mode menu is successfully added, start the System Configuration Utility as an administrator.

3, switch to the "Boot" tab, check "Safe mode", check "boot Options" under "Safe Boot", and select "Small", time-out set to "5" seconds, so that the safe mode can be added to the BCD menu.
