Using Windows system restore points

A system restore point allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point
in time. You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes.
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created
since the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your files and
settings.
