Enabling this security option makes the Recovery Console SET command available, which allows you to set the following Recovery Console environment variables:
AllowWildCards: Enable wildcard support for some commands (such as the DEL command).
AllowAllPaths: Allow access to all files and folders on the computer.
AllowRemovableMedia: Allow files to be copied to removable media, such as a floppy disk.
NoCopyPrompt: Do not prompt when overwriting an existing file.
Default: This policy is not defined and the recover console SET command is not available.
Counter Measure:
Disable the Recovery Console: Allow floppy copy and access to drives and folders setting.
Potential Impact:
Users who have started a server through the Recovery Console and logged in with the built-in Administrator account will not be able to copy files and folders to a floppy disk.

(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Recovery console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and all folders
