SafeMode cmd prompt

[Train]

What command would one use to boot to XP when you are in Safe Mode command prompt. Have occassion to use it and would like to know how to get out of it without shutting down.

From within the cmd window use the Shutdown command. SOme examples would be:

SHUTDOWN -s

This would shutdown without a reboot. There is like a 20 second timeout before it actually does it.

SHUTDOWN -r

This would shutdown and reboot, subject to the same delayed timeout as above.

To avoid the delay you can use the -t option and specify the seconds to wait, such as:

SHUTDOWN -r -t 0

This would shutdown and reboot immediately.

By the way, you can also fire up the safe mode Gui (instead) if ya like. Just type in Explorer in the cmd window.

Thanks and found the timeout was 30 seconds.

And yes there is a space between the -T and the 0 {zero} or all you get is the shutdown help.
