Maintaining your computer’s stability and security is paramount. Thus, verifying the operational status of Reboot Restore Rx post-installation is a critical step. To ensure Reboot Restore Rx is effectively safeguarding your system’s integrity, proceed with the following: 1\. Right click the Reboot Restore Rx icon in the system tray, and select the option to **Open Reboot Restore Rx Pro**, as shown below. ![Opening Reboot Restore Rx from the system tray](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-53.png) Opening Reboot Restore Rx from the system tray 2\. When prompted, keep the **User Name**, provide the **Password** you set during the installation, and click **OK** to access the Reboot Restore Rx Pro dashboard (step three). ![Logging in to Reboot Restore Rx Pro](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-52.png) Logging in to Reboot Restore Rx Pro 3\. In the dashboard, navigate to **Home** (left pane) and confirm the following: * Look for a line that states, **Baseline created at…**, which confirms a successful baseline snapshot of your system. This baseline is created automatically during installation. * Your root _C:_ drive is listed as protected, ensuring it is safeguarded. * The restore setting is set to **Restart**, which signifies the _C:_ drive will reset to the baseline state with every system reboot. ![Confirming the restore setting](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-51.png) Confirming the restore setting 4\. Now, open PowerShell and execute the following [`New-Item`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-item) command to change the protected _C:_ drive deliberately by creating a new directory (`test_dir`). Related:[Run PowerShell as Administrator: Multiple Methods Explored](https://adamtheautomator.com/powershell-run-as-administrator/) ```powershell New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path c:\test_dir ``` Related:[A Beginners Guide To PowerShell New-Item](https://adamtheautomator.com/powershell-new-item/) ![Creating a new directory](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-50.png) Creating a new directory 5\. Restart your computer, and you will notice the newly created _test\_dir_ directory is no longer present. This outcome indicates that Reboot Restore Rx has reset the system’s baseline state. 6\. Lastly, execute the following [`Test-Path`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/test-path) command to verify the _`c:\test_dir`_ directory has been removed. ```powershell Test-Path c:\test_dir ``` Related:[PowerShell Test-Path Cmdlet: Verify Files, Keys, and More](https://adamtheautomator.com/powershell-test-path/) The expected output is **False**, as shown below, which confirms the _test\_dir_ directory has been removed by Reboot Restore Rx. You can rest assured that Reboot Restore Rx functions as intended, keeping your system’s configuration intact and secure against unwanted changes. ![Confirming Reboot Restore Rx removed the recently created directory](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-49.png) Confirming Reboot Restore Rx removed the recently created directory ## Restricting Resource Usage: Command Prompt and Control Panel Your Reboot Restore Rx installation has been operating effectively thus far. But in scenarios where the system is communal, there is always a risk. Malicious users may attempt to compromise your protective measures by disabling or uninstalling Reboot Restore Rx to introduce malware. Fortunately, Reboot Restore Rx includes a feature that allows you to limit access to vital system resources, such as the Command Prompt (CMD) and the Control Panel. This safeguard ensures that only users with the administrative password can use these sensitive areas of your system. To restrict resource usage on your system, carry out the following: 1\. Navigate to **More Tools** (left pane) on the dashboard to access more tools Reboot Restore Rx offers, and click **Restricting Resources Usage** to bring up the related settings. ![Bringing up the related settings for restricting resource usage](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-57.png) Bringing up the related settings for restricting resource usage 2\. In the **Restricting Resources Usage** dialog, tick the checkboxes for **Control Panel**, and **CMD and PowerShell** as below, then click **OK** to enforce the new restrictions. ![Restricting access to CMD and Control Panel](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-56.png) Restricting access to CMD and Control Panel 3\. Finally, attempt to access the Command Prompt and Control Panel to verify the effectiveness of your usage restrictions. If the restrictions are correctly applied, you will encounter an ‘Access Denied’ error message as below, confirming that unauthorized access has been successfully blocked. Only users with the administrator password can override these restrictions, ensuring a secure computing environment. ![Verifying CMD usage restrictions ](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-55.png) Verifying CMD usage restrictions ![Verifying Control Panel usage restrictions](https://adamtheautomator.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-54.png) Verifying Control Panel usage restrictions ## Conclusion Following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you successfully installed Reboot Restore Rx on your Windows system, safeguarding it from unauthorized changes and ensuring its integrity.
