Saving system configuration with restore
points
The System Restore feature of the Windows
system quickly creates restore points
Windows
for later recall. If you experience problems after installing
some new hardware or software, you can easily select a
previously established Control Point to 'turn back the clock,'
restoring the Windows
in just prior to the installation. This is much easier and more
effective than uninstalling the hardware or software, which
often leaves behind unwanted files and settings. It is also
easy to undo a restore point selection, if you change your
mind.
Follow these steps to create a restore point using the
System Restore utility:
