Remarks
Use the getCleanBoot method to determine how the user started the system. For applications running on Windows 95/98, you can use this method to determine whether the system is in fail-safe mode. Your application uses this information to operate appropriately when accessing system services and hardware.
The value returned by getCleanBoot can be one of the following values.
| Value | Description |
| 0 | Normal boot |
| 1 | Fail-safe boot |
| 2 | Fail-safe boot with network connections |
Note Fail-safe boot (also called SafeBoot) bypasses the user's startup files.
