Disable Safe Mode

[ptotham]

I am looking at a way of disabling safe mode in window 7 we have always done it in xp and with a reg hack any suggestion other than software product nosafemode?

+1 on this

 

Two of our students have worked out booting into safe mode will circumvent parts of network security.

 

I'm finding dribs and drabs of stuff but need something to run on every machine in the school to disable safe mode - anybody done it?

found this on anther thread on here.

 

In Windows Vista & 7, you can disable the boot menu entirely with bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no. However, I haven't had a chance to see if this disables F8 too - it might.

 

I have tried this and can't get into safe mode.

 

also i used this to stop the recovery menu appearing if you crash out of windows bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

I have tried this and it is saying access denied!?

 

Tried it in command prompt.

You need to run the command from an elevated command prompt.

Is there a script I can use so it will run in elevated command prompt??
