What is Recovery console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and folders setting?

Recovery console is a command line-based troubleshooting feature that can help resolve issues with the system. Recovery console: Allow floppy copy access to all drives and folders is a security policy setting that allows or disallows the setting of certain recovery console variables. The variables are

  • AllowWildCards: This enables wildcard support for certain commands such as the DEL command. Wildcard characters are an advanced search feature that helps one to locate and act on relevant matches. For example, asterisk(*) is a wildcard character in this command: "DEL *.doc". Since the asterisk is present before the '.doc', this command will delete every file with a .doc extension.
  • AllowAllPaths: This allows access to all files and folders in the system.
  • AllowRemovableMedia: It allows files to be copied to removable media such as floppy disks.
  • NoCopyPrompt: This suppresses the prompt that is usually displayed before an existing file is overwritten.
