How do I check that my Windows 7 is in safe mode - I have been having problems with unwanted icons appearing whenever I try to remove a different icon

Your screen will look much more basic and usually with a black background and gray toolbar. The post above is a good example.

RE : Windows 7 Safe Mode

Safe Mode - This is the default option and is usually the best choice. This mode will load only the absolute minimum processes necessary to start Windows 7.
To begin entering Windows 7 Safe Mode, turn on or restart your PC.
Just before the Windows 7 splash screen shown above appears, press the F8 key to enter Advanced Boot Options.
