what you're asking for is a little dicey...I can think of a way to do it, but it is far more complicated than is necessary.
A far better idea is to edit your boot.ini file to add a safe mode option....in fact, every PC I own I do two things at install
install the recovery console and add the safe mode option as well, then set the time out to five second.
So, mine looks like this:
DO NOT JUST CUT AND PASTE MY BOOT.INI FILE...if our ARC config is different you will hose your system.
the above boot.ini file boots automatically to XP, and also offers the choice of recovery console or safe mode for five seconds (sometimes I use three seconds)
