ExcludeList

Within this section of the registry, you can choose to exclude software applications from the recovery
process initiated by the Rescue and Recovery program. This GUI exclude list is managed through the
registry at: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\ExcludeList.

OSAppsList

The Rescue and Recovery 4.23 program provides the ability to selectively restore particular files and
folders when doing an operating system and applications restore operation through the following registry
key settings:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\OSAppsList

The OSAppsList setting will define what files, folders, or file types comprise the operating system and
applications. This setting can be customized by the administrator and a default external file will be provided.
When the user chooses to recover the operating system, they will see a menu that allows them to choose
Restore.

Only files that match the rules contained in the external file will be restored. The administrator can customize
the contents of the external file.

Configuring the Rescue and Recovery user interface

The Rescue and Recovery user interface provides the option to switch between the simplified user interface
and the advanced user interface. The simplified user interface has a few basic options, while the advanced
user interface has extended options. By default, you will see the simplified user interface each time when the
Rescue and Recovery program starts unless the setting is disabled.

If the Simple User Interface setting is disabled, the advanced user interface will be displayed each time
when the Rescue and Recovery program starts. You can disable the simplified user interface using the
following Active Directory policy:

ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\User Interface\Simple User Interface

You can disable interface switching so that a user will not be able to switch between the two interfaces. To
disable the interface switching, set the following Active Directory policy to Disabled:

ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\User Interface\Interface Switching
