Boot Into Windows Description

AppleScript for quick booting to your Windows BootCamp partition Boot Into Windows is a free and easy to use AppleScript that will let you easily restart your Mac and boot into Windows - without the hassle of selecting your partition!The Boot Into Windows script is very simple, and will execute two commands:do shell script "bless -mount /Volumes/WINDOWS/ -legacy -setBoot -nextonly" with administrator privilegesdo shell script "shutdown -r now" with administrator privilegesThe first line, using the "bless" command, sets your system's startup disk to whatever appears after "-mount" - in our case, our Windows partition is located at /Volumes/WINDOWS. The -nextonly flag means that the change will only apply for the next startup, after which your computer will return to booting into OS X as normal. The second line simply tells your computer to restart, so that when you execute the script your computer will immediately begin shutting down and then booting into Windows.
