I think you can logon with shift key down, but that will only prevent startup items to launch.
It does a bit more than that, but I still doubt it would help since this isn't a startup issue. Still, wouldn't hurt.
Since Jaguar, holding down the shift key starts the computer in "Safe Boot" mode.

it forces a directory check of the startup (boot) volume.
It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
It runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/Startup Items and /System/Library/Startup items - and different than login items).
Taken together, these changes can work around issues caused by software or directory damage on the startup volume.
