Rescue and Recovery user interface switching
The Rescue and Recovery user interface provides the option to switch between a
simplified user interface or an advanced user interface. The simplified interface has
a few basic options, while the advanced interface has extended options. When
Rescue and Recovery is started, you will see the simplified user interface by
default. By disabling the simplified user interface, you can have advanced user
interface displayed each time Rescue and Recovery starts.
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
policy to HIDE:
AllowInterfaceSwitching
