Thank you for attempting to address the difficulty I'm having. Unfortunately, because the article you reference outlines steps which can only be effected by logging on to Windows XP to begin with, it does not provide a solution. The inability to logon to Windows is in fact at the root of the very problem I'm having (logging on to Windows when trapped in the Setup/SafeMode Loop of Death is an impossibility). It seems that the solution to the problem would have to come from outside the confines of the operating system itself.

Any other ideas? Anyone?
