They're probably not really in use. :-)

In addition to the advice already given (safe mode, etc) there are also 
utilities that will set up entries in the registry that will make the 
boot process rename or delete the file before anything else starts

or you can boot a liveCD (google "bartPE") so you're not booting the 
server system at all.
