opening recovered hp backup files

[johnh48]

My Windows 7 Home Premium system crashed and factory reset performed. All programmes and files were backed up to external disk using HP recovery and backup. System recovered and backed up WIM files recovered to desktop into "system recovery files shortcut" and they are present on my "C" hard drive.

Question: How do I open them and restore everything to its original location.

You should be able to get those file back following these directions:  Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)

Good Luck

Fully restored all photographs and documents etc, unable to restore any programmes, the only problem ones were those I didn't have a disc for.
