Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG06F 011/00AbstractA computer utility automatically monitors changes in configuration files stored on the computer hard disk. The recovery tool indicates to the user when changes are detected in the configuration files and provides the option to restore the configuration files to their state before they were changed if the computer system operates improperly. In addition, the recovery tool monitors selected application files for changes in the files or missing files, and prompts the user when a change is detected. The recovery tool also provides for monitoring of the CMOS memory which stores computer system operating functions and parameters. If possible corruption of the CMOS memory is detected, the recovery tool restores the contents of the CMOS to their proper state. Finally, the computer utility provides the option of making a bootable floppy diskette containing the computer system configuration. The floppy diskette also stores files from the utility necessary to provide for restoration of the configuration, if necessary, from the floppy diskette.Other References
