Toshiba A10 User Manual

202

Get familiar with all the user’s guides provided with your computer, 
as well as the manuals that come with the programs and devices you 
purchase.

Your local computer store or book store sells a variety of self-help 
books you can use to supplement the information in the manuals.

The Windows

®

 operating system offers some easy-to-use features 

for backing up your Windows

®

 settings and your data—documents 

and other important files. Take advantage of these features to 
protect yourself from much more difficult and time-consuming 
restoration procedures, and to safeguard your valuable data from 
loss.

The System Restore feature of the Windows

®

 operating system 

quickly creates Restore Points—‘snapshots’ of your Windows

®

 

operating system configuration—and saves them 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

®

 operating 

system to the state it was 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:

Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and 
then System Restore.

Click open System Protection.

The System Protection tab of the System Properties window 
appears.
