Using System Restore in Windows XP

The Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to return your computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes to the hardware, software, or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable operating state.

NOTICE: Back up your data files regularly. System Restore does not monitor your data files or recover them.
