Allowing/disallowing user queries
By clicking on an individual checkbox, and then pressing F1, you can get help on that particular item. For example, if
you place your cursor on the "Allow User Queries" checkbox, and then press F1 or choose "Help", you will get the
following:
Allow User Queries (WARNING: Not Allowing Queries May Cause Data Loss)
If you want to interact with a specified tool, instead of using
the tool's default information values, click on this checkbox; then
click on "OK".
WARNING: When you disable the "Allow User Queries" function, some tools
will perform DESTRUCTIVE tests. This means that ALL DATA on unmounted
disks WILL BE DESTROYED. The ability to disable this function is
intended for manufacturing purposes only. It is highly recommended that
you use the "Allow User Queries" function, and DO NOT DISABLE IT.
Alternatively, you can go to the "Help" pulldown menu in the Main Menu Window Bar, and click on "On Item"; the
cursor will change to a "?". In the example above, you then move the cursor to the "Allow User Queries" checkbox,
and click on the checkbox with your mouse.
