How to run IE in safe mode

Every few months I find myself hopelessly annoyed at IE because it freezes, crashes or is otherwise useless. It's worth spending time disabling the old add-ons that are so shamefully inefficient that they frequently crash my browser. Unfortunately, you can't get to them unless you can actually start your browser. Enter safe mode. Microsoft published information about IE's safemode in KB article 936213 (Vista & Win 7 only) which also talks about how to purge and/or reset your IE settings. If all else fails, Microsoft published FixIt 50195 that you can download and will effectively reset all of your settings. Whis will cover XP as well as Vista and Windows 7.
