To start Windows in safe mode

Click Options, and then click Print to print this topic for reference. Windows Help is not available while you start your computer or run your programs on the MS-DOS operating system.
Click Start, and then click Shut down.
Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu appears.
For some machines, you can use F8 instead of CTRL to bring up the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu.

Enter the number for Safe mode, and then press ENTER.
Notes
In safe mode, Windows uses default settings (VGA monitor, no network, Microsoft mouse driver, and the minimum device drivers required to start Windows). You will not have access to CD-ROM drives, printers, or other devices.
You can change settings as needed by clicking Start, pointing to Settings, clicking Control Panel, and double-clicking Network or System.
After you finish this procedure, you need to restart your computer before Windows will start properly.

I went to Windows help. Okay, the instructions say Click Start, click Shut Down and then in drop down box click shut down. Well, I've clicked start. There is no SHUT DOWN, only Turn Off Computer. I see no such options in there. Was going to try defragging in safe mode but I cant find it!

Thanks in advance
