my windows does not open in safe mode,i enter for safe mode just in a little time windows again starts,and so on,why,some of mine folders are hidden,but i have not hidden them,what is problem,please reply me thanks a lot

"my windows does not open in safe mode"
Try tapping the F8 key every couple of seconds during the boot. You could also try holding down the 'ctrl' key during the boot, for some systems that will bring up the boot menu.
"some of mine folders are hidden"
Go to 'My Computer' > Tools > Folder options > View and make sure 'Show hidden files and folders 'is checked.

What is this hidden deal? If they are hidden then how do you know it? MS does hide some stuff so you won't bork your system too fast.
Use a PS/2 keyboard.I have seen a few that just will not boot to safe mode. If I set my mind to it I guess I could figure that out. I have other ways to access it right now.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

How to enter Safe Mode the Easy way:
1) Click on Start and then Run.2) In the text box in the Run window, type msconfig and click OK. This will open
the System Configuration Utility program.Note: Do not make changes in the System Configuration Utility other than those
outlined here to avoid causing serious system issues. This utility controls
a number of startup activities other than those involved with Safe Mode.3)Click on the BOOT.INI tab located at the top of the System Configuration Utility
window.4)Check the checkbox next to /SAFEBOOT and click OK.
5)You will then be prompted to either Restart, which will restart the PC immediately,
or Exit Without Restart, which will close the window and allow you to restart the
PC manually.6)After the restart, the PC will automatically boot into Windows XP Safe Mode.
Note: Windows XP will continue to boot into Safe Mode until the System
Configuration Utility is configured to again boot normally.7)When your work in Safe Mode is complete, click on Start and then Run. Type msconfig
in the text box and click OK. This will again open the System Configuration Utility
program.8)Choose the Normal Startup radio button and click OK.
9)You will then be prompted to either Restart, which will restart the PC immediately,
or Exit Without Restart, which will close the window and allow you to restart the PC
manually.10)After the restart, the PC will boot into Windows XP normally and will continue to
do so.
