Safe Mode - Feature idea

Launching in "Safe Mode" is darn near impossible with VMs. Making sure the loading window has focus. Holding down Fn-F8 at exactly the right time.

Dont' know if it is possible, but is there a way to "Restart in Safe Mode" when you are running a Windows session? That would be especially good for VM use.
 
Good old Google!

So don't you think this would be a great idea to add as a menu item if you do have a custom menu? Add Shut Down and a Safe Mode boot?

It is a simple addition/removal from an INI file:

To use the System Configuration Utility method

* Close all open programs.
* Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG in the box and click OK
* The System Configuration Utility appears, On the BOOT.INI tab, Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when prompted.
* The computer restarts in Safe mode.
* Perform the troubleshooting steps for which you are using Safe Mode.
When you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG again, on the BOOT.INI tab, uncheck "/SAFEBOOT" and click OK to restart your computer
