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:
