Using System RestoreSystem Restore is a component of Windows XP that you can use to restore your computer to a previous state without losing your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail). System Restore monitors changes to the system and some application files, and it automatically creates easily identified restore points. These restore points allow you to revert the system to a previous time. They are created daily and at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed). You can also create and name your own restore points at any time. If you restore to a restore point before a program was installed, that program does not work after restoration. If you want to use the program again, you must reinstall it. To run the System Restore wizard
