    Whilst I have no immediate problem, I am reflecting that at some time I might need to boot Win 7 into safe mode in order to run some anti-malware tests.

    As I currently run BootItBM with two OS's and a tbWinRe boot option, I am wondering how to get into safe mode now, and ideally, if I can add another option to the multi-boot selection to do exactly that ? The BootItBM manual and site is pretty silent on that subject.

    I have never used BootItBM. Tried to use it once, but had to build a media to install it. Gave up!


    Best regards,

    Mohamed, it is probably the most useful piece of software I own. It can do amazing things.

    gbhall, no big deal. Just start tapping F8 immediately after clicking Boot in BIBM.

    Got it.
    Thanks Brian - I must have been too slow when I tried that myself

    If you want a separate boot item for it in BIBM, just make one the same as the main one and add F8 as a keystroke. Or you could just add F8 when needed to your main item and then remove it.
