Using System Restore points

System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to
reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the
computer to an earlier state, called a restore point. A restore point
is a "snapshot" of your software, drivers, and operating system
files at a particular time. The computer automatically creates
restore points at regular intervals and may create additional
restore points when you change your personal settings or add
software or hardware.
You can manually create additional restore points to provide
increased protection for your system files and settings. It is
recommended that you manually create restore points
■
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For
example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will
not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time.
✎
If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can
reverse the restoration.
