Accessing the Control Panel in Safe Mode

  • [アーティクル]

By default, as of Windows Vista Control Panel items are not shown when Windows is run in safe mode. To allow a new Control Panel item to be viewed in safe mode, registry values appropriate to the item type can be set. The values are interpreted as follows:

Value Meaning
1 The item should appear in minimal safe mode only.
2 The item should appear in safe mode only if networking is enabled.
3 The item should always appear in any form of safe mode.

 

This example shows the entries required for an item implemented as a .cpl or .dll file. It specifies that the item should appear in safe mode with networking.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   Software
      Microsoft
         Windows
            CurrentVersion
               Control Panel
                  Extended Properties
                     System.ControlPanel.EnableInSafeMode
                        %ProgramFiles%\MyCorp\MyApp\MyCpl.cpl = [REG_DWORD] 2

This example shows the entries required for an item implemented as a .exe file. It specifies that the item should appear in any form of safe mode.

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

         System.ControlPanel.EnableInSafeMode = [REG_DWORD] 3
