2.8 Contents of the recovery DVD
DVDs with model numbers 5SWWI8.0100-MUL and 5SWWI8.0200-MUL are only for recovery purposes.
Information:
They are only used to carry out the basic installation of Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro. In con-
trast to the preinstalled operating system versions, the operating system does not include device-spe-
cific drivers (network, graphics, ADI, etc.) or optimized settings, nor is it activated! The product can be
activated at a later time either over the phone or via the Internet (see "Activation").
2.9 Lockdown features
The lockdown functions in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro make it possible to individually configure the
device while making the system more secure at the same time. They include:
•
Unified Write Filter (UWF)
These features make it possible to configure a data storage medium (e.g. CFast) for read-only access, for
example, or to allow only certain registry keys to be accessed. As a result, the system always starts with
the same configuration after rebooting.
•
Dialog filter
This feature can be used to suppress pop-up windows and dialog boxes. Such dialog boxes can occur, for
example, if virus scanners are updated, network connections fail or the Windows Security Center shows
warnings. These windows can simply be hidden.
•
Keyboard filter
The keyboard filter allows individual keys or certain keyboard shortcuts to be locked to prevent users from
accessing certain functions (e.g. Task Manager).

2.10 Supported display resolutions
In accordance with Microsoft requirements, Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro requires XGA resolution (1024 x
768) or higher in order to allow unimpeded operation of the Windows user interface (including system dialog boxes
and apps, etc.). A lower resolution can be selected for applications.
