Safe Mode?

[Zylstra]

Is there a safe mode (like what Windows has) for Mac?
Or startup options? (excluding start up disks)

Thanks!

Learn how to start up Mac OS X 10.2 or later in Safe Mode.

To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:

Be sure the computer is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.

Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
