For more information, press the < > key to launch the Empowering
Technology menu, then click on the appropriate utility and select the Help
function.
Acer eDataSecurity Management
Acer eDataSecurity Management is a handy file encryption utility that protects
your files from being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently
integrated with Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick and easy data
encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption for MSN
Empowering Technology
Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.
There are two passwords that can be used to encrypt/decrypt a file: the
supervisor password and the file-specific password. The supervisor password is a
"master" password that can decrypt any file on your system; the file-specific
password is assigned when you encrypt each individual file.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a
supervisor password and default file-specific password. This file-specific
password will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter
your own file-specific password when encrypting a file.
Note: The password used encrypt a file is the unique key that the
system needs to decrypt it. If you lose the password, the supervisor
password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If
you lose both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt your
encrypted file! Be sure to safeguard all related passwords!
Acer eLock Management
Acer eLock Management is a security utility that allows you to lock up your
removable data, optical and floppy drives to ensure that data can't be stolen
while your notebook is unattended.
• Removable data devices — includes USB disk drives, USB pen drives, USB
flash drives, USB mp3 drives, USB memory card readers, IEEE 1394 disk
drives and any other removable disk drives that can be mounted as a file
system when plugged into the system.
• Optical drive devices — includes any kind of CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives.
• Floppy disk drives — 3.5-inch disks only.
To activate Acer eLock Management, a password must be set first. Once set, you
may apply locks to any of the three kinds of devices. Lock(s) will immediately
be set without any reboot necessary, and will remain locked after rebooting,
until unlocked.
If you do not set a password, Acer eLock Management will reset back to the
initial status with all locks removed.
3
Empowering Technology
Note: If you lose your password, there is no method to reset it
except by reformatting your notebook or taking your notebook
to an Acer Customer Service Center. Be sure to remember or write
down your password.
4
Empowering Technology

performance of your Acer notebook. It provides you with the following options
to enhance overall system performance:
• Memory optimization — release unused memory and check usage.
• Disk optimization — remove unneeded items and files.

5
Acer eRecovery Management
Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility that does away with the need

provides you with:
• Password protection.
• Recovery of applications and drivers.
• Image/data backup:
• Backup to HDD (set recovery point).
• Backup to CD/DVD.
• Image/data recovery tools:

Empowering Technology
For more information, please refer to "Acer eRecovery Management" on page
64 in the AcerSystem User's Guide.
Note: If your computer did not come with a Recovery CD or
System CD, please use Acer eRecovery Management's "System
backup to optical disk" feature to burn a backup image to CD or
DVD. To ensure the best results when recovering your system
using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals
(except the external Acer ODD, if your computer has one),
including your Acer ezDock.
6
Acer eSettings Management
Acer eSettings Management allows you to inspect hardware specifications and
to monitor the system health status. Furthermore, Acer eSettings Management
enables you to optimize your Windows operating system, so your computer
runs faster, smoother and better.
Acer eSettings Management also:
• Provides a simple graphical user interface for navigating through the
program effortlessly.
• Displays general system status and advanced monitoring for power users.
Empowering Technology
• Logs when a hardware component has been removed or replaced.
• Permits you to migrate personal settings.
• Keeps a history log of all alerts that were previously issued.
Acer eNet Management
Acer eNet Management helps you to quickly and easily connect to both wired
and wireless networks in a variety of locations. To access this utility, either click
on the "Acer eNet Management" icon on your notebook, or start the program
from the Start menu. You also have the option to set Acer eNet Management to
start automatically when you boot up your PC.

location, while offering you the freedom to manually adjust the settings to
match your needs, simply by right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar.

and automatically apply the appropriate profile when you move from one
location to another. Settings stored include network connection settings (IP and
DNS settings, wireless AP details, etc.), as well as default printer settings.
Security and safety concerns mean that Acer eNet Management does not store
username and password information.
