Lesson 13: Using System Restore
The System Restore feature allows you to return your computer to the way it was configured on a specific date or time, a “restore point.” This is useful if you are reconfiguring your computer for new hardware or software. In the event that your hardware or software causes your computer to malfunction, you can remove the offending item(s) and restore the system to the state it was in at the preset time.
To open System Restore, click Start, point to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and System Restore.
The System Restore Welcome screen appears.
