Logged - same as normal except it logs the startup and load activities

Safe Mode - used to troubleshoot problems with Windows

Safe Mode with network support - same as safe mode but allows network access incase you need to download something from the network (NOT available for Windows 98/ME because they automatically include network support)

Step-by-Step confirmation - asks for confirmation before executing each command in the io.sys, config.sys, and autoexec.bat

Command prompt only - Windows 95/98 doesn't start, instead a command prompt starts ( NOT available with Windows ME)

Safe mode with command prompt - doesn't execute commands in autoexec.bat or config.sys, instead you only see the DOS prompt (NOT available with Windows ME)

Previous version of MS-DOS - loads a previous version of DOS if available (NOT available for Windows ME or Windows 98 SE)
