8/22    In Windoze XP, how can I make my service start automatically when it
        boots up in Safe Mode?  I searched MSDN site and didn't see anything.
        Thanks.
        \_ I don't know how to do that in Windoze XP but it isn't that hard in
           Windows XP.
           \_ And that would be how?  Thx.
              \_ Start here and you should get the right idea:
           HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal
                 \_ Thanks!
        \_ Out of curiousity, why do you need to do that?
           \_ I am working on a module that is a service, and I need it to be
              loaded even in Safe Mode so that people won't be able to bypass
              it by rebooting the machine in Safe Mode.
              \_ I sure hope there isn't a way to do what you want.  If the
                 users want to bypass your module, let them!
                 \_ It's part of a security product, and we don't want the end
                    user bypass it.
                    \_ And what stops them from booting off a USB key, CD,
                       other hard drive, etc?
                       \_ BIOS password.
                          \_ Yank HD, take to another computer, etc.
                             \_ Always true for any product that can't
                                physically defend itself.  I don't think most
                                customers want their firewall to shoot at
                                people.

                             \_ There's also FS encryption.
                             \_ Some of the firmare-level drive crypto stuff
                                out there is pretty buff.  Not failsafe, but
                                in most cases more trouble than it's really
                                worth.  -John
                    \_ What gives you the arrogance to think you can take over
                       the end user's system in such a way?
                       \_ I think he's building a security appliance not a
                          home user software thing.
                          \_ A security appliance running Windows?
                 \_ RESPECT MY AUTHORITAW!
              \_ And suppose there is such a way.  What's to stop
                 someone from writing a malicious service that does the
                 same thing?
