If you should configure a computer so that user can dial in to the company network while out of the office. Company security policy states that dial-in users must use a smart card when they connect to the network, and that the users must use the strongest form of data encryption possible. Company security policy also states that client computers must disconnect if the routing and remote access server does not support both smart card authentication and the strongest possible authentication. You need to configure the dial-up connection properties on user’s computer to dial in to the company network. Your solution must ensure that company security policies are enforced. Then in this case you should select the Advanced (custom settings) security option. Then should Select the Maximum strength encryption item from the Data encryption list. And finally Select the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) option, and select Smart Card or other
Certificate from the EAP list.

After exposing the benefits of safe mode, we get to the question how to enter this mode. Is one way and is very easy. To go into Safe Mode, you must press F8 key on your keyboard during boot, just before the bar loading, which appears at the bottom to reach the right edge of the screen. Will appear a black screen on which are inscribed the possible ways to boot. You will see several options Safe Mode:
• Safe Mode – loads only the absolute minimum of drivers;
• Safe Mode with Networking – an opportunity to connect with other computers through the network;
• Safe Mode with Command Prompt – instead of loading the GUI interface of Windows Explorer, run the command prompt;
• Enable VGA Mode – run Windows in 640×480 pixels resolution. This possibility will be useful if you mistakenly set the resolution, which is not supported by your monitor;
• Last Known Good Configuration – run Windows, using the previous configuration that has worked;
• Starts Windows Normally – hardly needs explanation;
• Reboot – Reboot the computer.
There are several modes that are irrelevant to the topic of this article. As you know, Windows XP comes in Pro and Home versions. And in both Safe Mode is the same as the opportunities and options. The only difference is that the Home version of the Administrator account is available only in safe mode, and is the standard account for it. Not require a password for the Administrator account, which is prejudicial to the security of the system, as anyone who has physical access to your computer, you can use Safe Mode to remove or change the passwords of other accounts. But this feature if you look from a positive angle is quite useful, because if you forget your password, you can easily change it in Safe Mode.
