Using Stardock Fences Pro

Stardock Fences Pro is a program that allows you to personalize and organize your desktop icons into
shaded areas. When the Fences program runs the first time, it creates shaded areas (known as Fences)
and moves desktop icons into logical groupings. The Fences can be named and changed as needed
as well as any of the contents. To customize Fences or to refer to the software help for Fences, select
Start > All Programs > Stardock. Click Fences, and then click Fences.lnk.

Stardock Fences Pro includes the following features:

●

Create a Sorting Rule—By default, new desktop icons are placed outside Fences. You can create
rules to automatically place new icons into Fences based on criteria such as name, file type, time,
and date.

●

Quick Hide—Hides all the icons and Fences on your desktop for a clean look by double-clicking
an empty area on the desktop. Double-clicking an empty area again will bring back all the icons
and Fences that were hidden on your desktop.

●

Create Snapshots—The Fences program creates one snapshot of your Fences layout when
installed and then automatically creates daily snapshots. You can create additional snapshots at
any time and restore your layout to any stored snapshot.

Backing up and recovering your information

Your computer includes tools provided by the operating system and HP to help you safeguard your
information and restore it if ever needed.

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

●

Creating a set of recovery discs or recovery flash drive (Recovery Manager software feature)

●

Performing a full system restore (from the partition, recovery discs, or recovery flash drive)

●

Backing up your information

●

Recovering a program or driver

47

Restore

In the event of hard drive failure, to restore your system to its factory image you will need a set of recovery
discs or recovery flash drive that you can create using HP Recovery Manager. HP recommends that
you use this software to create either a set of recovery discs or recovery flash drive immediately after
software setup.

If for some other reason you need to restore your system, this can be achieved using the HP Recovery
partition (select models only), without the need for recovery discs or recovery flash drive. To check for
the presence of a recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and then click

Disk Management. If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the window.

NOTE: Recovery discs have been included if your computer does not have a recovery partition.

CAUTION: HP Recovery Manager (partition, or discs/flash drive) restores only software that was

preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be or reinstalled manually.

Creating restore media

HP recommends that you create either a set of recovery discs or recovery flash drive to be sure that
you can restore your computer to its original factory state if the hard drive fails, or if for any reason you
cannot restore using the recovery partition tools. Create these discs or the flash drive after setting up
the computer for the first time.

NOTE: HP Recovery Manager allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs or one recovery

flash drive. Handle these discs or flash drive carefully and keep them in a safe place.

NOTE: If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, you can use an optional external

optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can purchase recovery discs for
your computer from the HP Web site. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected directly
to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on an external device, such as a USB hub.

Guidelines:

●

Purchase high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.

NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE

(rewritable Blu-ray) discs, are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.

●

The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.

●

Only one set of recovery discs or recovery flash drive can be created per computer.

●

Number each disc or flash drive before inserting it into the optical drive or the USB port.

●

If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs or
recovery flash drive. The next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue
the backup creation process.

To create a set of recovery discs or recovery flash drive:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Media Creation.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

48 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery

Performing a system restore

Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory state.
Recovery Manager works from recovery discs, recovery flash drive, or from a dedicated recovery
partition (select models only) on the hard drive.

correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final attempt to correct
computer issues.

Note the following when performing a system restore:

●

You can restore only the system that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you
use HP Recovery Manager to create a set of either recovery discs or recovery flash drive (entire
drive backup) as soon as you set up the computer.

●

Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already tried
these features, try them before using Recovery Manager.

●

Recovery Manager restores only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not
provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled
from the disc provided by the manufacturer.

50 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery

Backup

It is very important to back up your files and keep any new software in a safe place. As you add new
software and data files, continue to create backups on a regular basis.

NOTE: How completely you are able to recover your system depends on how recent your back up is.

Backing up and recovering your information

Backing up your information allows you to back up individual files or back up the entire computer image.
You should back up your computer files on a regular schedule to maintain a current backup.

NOTE: A backup recovery needs to be performed if the computer has a virus attack or if any major

system components fail. In order to correct computer issues, a backup recovery should first be attempted
before a system restore is attempted.

You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs. Back up
your system at the following times:

●

At regularly scheduled times

TIP: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.

●

Before the computer is repaired or restored

●

Before you add or modify hardware or software

Guidelines:

●

Create system restore points using the Windows® System Restore feature, and periodically copy
them to an optional disc or an external hard drive. For more information on using system restore
points, refer to

Using Windows system restore points on page 52.

●

Store personal files in the Documents library and back up this folder periodically.

●

Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your settings.
The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to re-enter your preferences.

Using Windows Backup and Restore

Guidelines:
