Windows 98 - how to get out of 'Safe Mode' ?

Hi,
I have start up problems with the computer sticking (explorer not responding) and decided to put the computer into safe mode by typing in 'msconfig' on the start/run menu.
I unticked several boxes but now have forgotten how to restore my computer settings - doh - and I am stuck in safe mode.
As you can tell I'm no computer expert so any help in layman's language would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.

Tried pressing F8 from a restart and selecting 'Start Windows normally' from there?
Not sure if this will work, but worth a shot.I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

Or run msconfig again and check the box against Normal Startup. This will load all your drivers and run your start-up programs.0
