Lenovo ThinkPad R61i - Manual (Page 58)

The directory to place the scripts or programs is \Preboot\Startup. Scripts or
programs in this directory are processed alphanumerically. For example, a script
called a.bat would be processed before 1.exe.
To place a script or program in this directory, complete the following steps:
1.
Get the RRUTIL from the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery Administration Tools
site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-
ADMIN#tvsu
2. Create a Temp directory.
3. In the \Temp directory create the following directory tree: \preboot\startup.
4. Put the script or program into the \Temp\preboot\startup path.
5. From a command line, type in RRUTIL –p \Temp.
6. To verify that the script or program was copied successfully, type in RRUTIL –g
from a command line. This will generate a file named getlist.txt.
7. Examine the contents of getlist.txt for the \preboot\startup directory. The script
or program should be listed under this tree.
Passwords
The following are four password options available in the Predesktop Area:
v Predesktop Area or Master password
v User ID and password or passphrase
v Backup password

You can set an independent Predesktop Area password. This password is set
through the command line interface, and is the only password option available if
Rescue and Recovery 4.21 only is installed on the system.
You can create this Predesktop Area password using the following command:
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe.The
parameters for this command are:

pe_masterpw_app.exe -exists Checks to see if the password exists.
