Title: cant write a line in command prompt [SOLVED]
Post by: hawkredtail on November 28, 2015, 09:29:05 am

I have windows 8.1 I want to add a command line so my laptop can boot into safe mode using F-8 Key. While in elevated command prompt, I tried to add this string to the command prompt line and it comes up and says it cant find the file?  Any work around to this?  I attached a file of the command prompt to show what its doing.

See if changing the brackets to read {default} does it as in this article.

You are correct I used { }  instead of < > and it worked!

Thank You :wink:
