Restoring Your Operating System  
System Restore
The Windows operating systems provide 
a System Restore option which allows 
you to return your computer to an earlier 
operating state (without affecting data files) if 
changes to the hardware, software, or other 
system settings have left the computer in an 
undesirable operating state. Any changes that 
System Restore makes to your computer are 
completely reversible.
CAUTION: Make regular backups of your 
data files. System Restore does not monitor 
your data files or recover them.
