How do I prevent Word from starting in safe mode?

I've an applications that allows a user to start MS Word. If the user holds the "CTRL" key while starting MS Word, following dialog is shown:

enter image description here

This leads to errors in my application, because users seem to hold the "CTRL" key by accident and may click on "yes", which deactivates my office addins. Is there a way to prevent Word from showing this dialog and also from starting in safe mode? For instance, if you try to start Excel with the "\e" parameter + holding "CTRL" key, Excel starts without any dialog and not in safe mode.

The application is developed in .Net (c#)

You tell the user to stop doing that!

AFAIK, There is no way you can, with code or otherwise, stop Word from starting in safe mode. That is a basic diagnostic built into the programs and is not optional.
