But then I realize it is a networked computer and i'm pretty much screwed to log back into the computer to turn safe boot off. I can never remember how I do it or what I do but it usually takes me a good hour of screwing around to get back in to turn it off.

I think I have finally learned (wow...the first time I typed that out i spelled it 'lurned') my lesson and I have avoided using safeboot for the last while.
Why would anybody do this anyway? It takes much more effort to go run, msconfig, click the tabs, click safe boot checkbox, click okay, apply changes, okay after restart, restart, etc.

Just hit the darn restart button on your computer and hammer F8.
