What is Windows XP Safe Mode used for? How do I get in and how do I do it after I get in? Detailed i

WinXP: Press F8 when starting the menu and select Safe Mode.

After Microsoft stopped the maintenance of the XP system, the undefeated users began to worry about the security of the WinXP system. In fact, the WinXP system itself has a very secure mechanism since it withered, and it is not so easy to be invaded by the outside world. However, most users are not very familiar with the security mechanism of the XP system.

Next, I will introduce the security mechanism of the XP system to you.

1. Perfect user management function

WindowsXP uses the kernel of Windows2000 NT, which is very secure in user management. All the additional users can be seen when they log in, unlike Windows 2000, where users who have been added to a group of administrators by hackers cannot be detected. Using the NTFS file system, you can restrict user access to folders by setting the security options for folders, such as warning a normal user when accessing another user's documents.

You can also enable auditing on a file (or folder) to record user access to the file (or folder) in a security log file to further strengthen the supervision of file operations.

2. Transparent software restriction policy

In WindowsXP, software restriction policies are "transparent" to isolate and use unreliable, potentially harmful user data**, which protects your computer from viruses, Trojans, worms, etc., spread via email or web pages, ensuring the security of your data.

3. Support NTFS file system and encrypted file system EFS

The Encrypted File System (EFS) in Windows XP is based on the public key and takes advantage of the default EFS settings of the CryptoAPI structure, and EFS can also use the extended DataEncryptionStandard (DESX) and Triple-DES (3DES) as cryptographic algorithms. Users can easily encrypt their files.

When encrypted, EFS automatically generates an encryption key. When you encrypt a folder, all the files and subfolders inside the folder are automatically encrypted, and your data will be more secure.

4. Secure network access features

The new features are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Patches are automatically updated to "reduce the burden" for users

2. The system comes with a firewall for Internet connection.

It comes with an Internet firewall that supports LAN, VPN, dial-up connection, etc. It supports "custom settings" and "log viewing", which builds a "hacker defense" for the security of the system.

The above is an introduction to the security mechanism of the XP system. Through the above introduction, we can know that the winxp system itself security mechanism still has a certain protective model, as long as we do not contact some problems in the process of daily use, it will generally not be invaded by the outside world.

The steps are as follows:

1. After booting up, wait for the computer self-test to complete, and press F8 before the Windows system screen appears; (Since the time is very short, you can click F8 all the time).

2. The screen displays the WinXP system boot options menu, press the key to move to "Safe Mode with Command Prompt", and press Enter;

3. Start the mode and wait for it to finish.

Hello, keep pressing f8 when powering on to select "Safe Mode with Command Line" Thank you!

Press the F8 key immediately after powering on, and the menu that appears will have "Safe Mode with Commands".
