Using Microsoft® Windows® XP System Restore

The Microsoft® 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. See the Windows Help and Support Center for information on using System Restore. To access help, see "Windows Help and Support Center" on page 12.

NOTICE: Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor your data files or recover them.
