Restore .wim files after a System Recovery

[kintner7001]

I used HP Recovery Manager to back up all my data files before a full System Recovery and now I can't restore the backed up files.  Recovery Manager saved all files as .wim files and no one at HP tech support knows how to restore these files.  I have copies the files to my desktop but can't access the data.  How do I convert these back to music, photo, document files and then restore them to my document folders?

MY COMPUTER DID A RESTORE ON ITS OWN AND DELETED EVERYTHING. I used HP Recovery Manager to back up all my data files before a full System Recovery and now I can't restore the backed up files.  Recovery Manager saved all files as .wim files and no one at HP tech support knows how to restore these files.  I have copies the files to my desktop but can't access the data.  How do I convert these back to music, photo, document files and then restore them to my document folders?
