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, Control Panel, System and Security, and then 
System.

In the left pane, click System protection.

The System Protection tab of the System Properties window 
appears.

Click Create...

In the input field, enter a name that is descriptive enough to be 
easily understood in the future, such as “Before installing 
Brand X Accounting app.” Then click Create.

The Windows

®

 operating system creates the restore point, 

automatically stamps it with the current date and time, and 
displays a message that the restore point was successfully 
created. 

Click Close.

Then, at a later time, you can re-establish your Windows

®

 

configuration using the saved restore point. To do this:

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

Select Recommended restore or Choose a different restore 
point, and then click Next.

The timestamp and description of each restore point is 
displayed.
