I hate to ask because i know that the answer is simple, but for the life of me can't find it.

I want to fix someones computer that has a load of crap in it (spyware, popups, blar blar - the usual), but as it is someone elses computer i don't want to fuck up and have reformat. So here are my questions:

How do you run safe mode?
Do i need to back up registry files? and what are they exactly (what do they contain?
If i run spybot, adware, x cleaner, hijack this and microsoft anti spy is that all the points (anymore suggestions) and should these all be run in safe mode?

Thanks
