How do I disable the F8 option on bootup that let's you go into Safe Boot Mode. I am trying to lock down a Win2K workstation that has public access which I will be ghosting for multiple configurations?

You can set the amount of time available to users to press funtion keys at system startup (Properties of My Computer by right clicking, select startup options on the Advanced tab, then Startup and recovery). There should be an option to reduce the amount of time available to users when the system starts, the defulat is about 30 seconds. You should be able to either reduce this or set it to zero.

However, I would recommend that this is not made too low as there may come a time when you might need to boot up in safe mode.
