  Optimization of the Recovery Console
  For security reasons, the Recovery Console in Windows XP gives very limited rights, but it is possible to make it more efficient in case of system crash, but you must prepare in advance of your console.
  Open Command Prompt, type gpedit.msc to open the group policy editor.
  In the left pane of the console, expand the Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings and Local Policies.
  Select Security Options in the left pane of the console.
  In the list of strategies, indicate right, double-click the Recovery Console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and folders.
  For those who do not have XP Pro, not run gpedit.msc. The solution involves creating a REG file:
  Create a new document. Txt on your desktop and copy and paste this in:
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Setup \ RecoveryConsole]
  "SetCommand" = dword: 00000001
  "Securitylevel" = dword: 00000001
  Give the file a name (eg consoltotal) by adding the extension. Reg
  Save this file on the desktop and close it.
  Go to the desktop and double-click on this file.
  Accept the merger in the register.
  After you enable this policy, you can restart the Recovery Console, log in with password local admin and use one of the following commands to have more opportunities (note the space on both sides of sign = is required)
  For the current choice for these four parameters, enter set and press Enter.
  AllowWildCards = true Set Allows for wildcards (*) and (?) With the orders of the Recovery Console.
  Set Allows AllowAllPaths = true to have the CD command to list files and subfolders of all folders of all your local disks.
  Set = true AllowRemovableMedia Allows you to copy objects from local disks to removable media.
  Set = true NoCopyPrompt eliminates the warning message that appears when you copy one or more objects overwrite existing files using the Recovery Console.
  Even if you do not install the Recovery Console on your PC, it is always possible to optimize it.
