Dear All:

I would like to use command-line to reboot computer and go to safe mode
without pressing F8. Is that possible to use "shutdown" command to
complete it?

Thanks for your response.

You have to change the boot.ini first.

Open the System Configuration Utility...
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
BOOT.INI tab | Select /SAFEBOOT

/safeboot: = This switch causes Windows to start in Safe Mode.

After making those boot.ini changes using msconfig, you need to click Apply
and Close.

Then click on: Restart or reboot however you would like. I.e.
shutdown -r -t 00
