This command has a number of switches and you need to familiarise

with them by typing shutdown /? at the Command Prompt.


Hello again,

Indeed, I did not fill in the "missing bits" as I did not
know that there were any to be filled in.

I'll get on it, and will let you know.

Many thanks, as before,

Hi again,

I entered the appropriate shutdown switches, and not the
shortcut causes the reboot into safe mode with networking.

Unfortunately, running it a second time leaves it in safe
mode, but before asking anything about that issue, I have
another question:

I had hoped to do all this because I have a BAT file that
invokes a process that often fails when run in normal mode.
If running in safe mode, it always runs properly.

I wanted to create a routine that would boot into safe mode,
run my BAT file, and when it finished, would re-boot back
into normal mode.

In all this, I had neglected the fact that when I enter safe
mode, I have to log in again, and have to enter my password.

Am I correct that there is no way that I could "bypass" that
part of the process? That is, am I correct that even if I
get this working correctly, I will still have to enter that
password manually?

Please let me know, and that will help me to decide if I
should pursue this further.

Many thanks,

If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

It is possible to fully automate the logon process and to force a specific
process to run after the automatic logon process, either unconditionally or
conditional upon the current mode (Safe Mode / Normal Mode).
