Reboot Restore Rx User Guide
Reboot Restore Rx is a freeware utility developed by Horizon DataSys. This free utility was created in response to the many requests submitted to us by small school systems and libraries that have limited budgets who were looking for a replacement for Microsoft's SteadyState and other commercially available products.
As soon as the software is installed and the machine has rebooted, you have your baseline! Reboot Restore Rx will restore your PC back to that system state on every reboot. This guide will detail how to perform Reboot Restore Rx's basic functions.
Want to make changes to your system and keep those changes? A quick update to your baseline is required. The process of updating the baseline is very simple and straight forward with Reboot Restore Rx.
1. Disable the Restore Option
Rick click the System Tray Icon
Select Disable
2. Make changes to your system
3. Update Baseline
Right click the System Tray Icon
Select Enable
Once re-enabled, the program will update your baseline.
In Reboot Restore Rx you have another great capability. You can restore your system to a baseline even if Windows is unbootable.
We do this from the sub-console. To do this
Reboot your system
Before Windows you will get the splash screen
Press the HOME key repetitively to get into the Menu
Select Restore Now
Done!
It's that easy to instantly recover from any OS crash! You will get your system back in seconds.
You may find yourself in an update loop (the program loads into the OS, but then restores the machine, thus in a loop) or with a corrupted Baseline. Unlike Reboot Restore Rx Pro which offers backup states and other more advanced recovery options, the only option available with Reboot Restore Rx is to uninstall the software. To do so:
Reboot your system
Before Windows you will get the splash screen
Press the HOME key repetitively to get into the Menu
Select Uninstall
Done!
Reboot Restore Rx is a freeware application that was designed, developed and published with small budget organizations and end-users in mind, that just want to restore their machines to a perfectly working state on every reboot without having to pay anything.
