What you need to know
If you restore to a restore point and then change your mind, you can undo the restoration.
You should create system restore points:
Before you add or change software or hardware
Periodically, whenever the computer is running normally
System Restore also saves shadow copies of files that have been changed since the last restore
point was created. For more information about using shadow copies to restore, see Help and
Support.

1.
Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.
2.
In the left pane, click System Protection.
3.
Click the System Protection tab.

To restore, see 
Backing up system and personal information
Your computer stores information that is important to you, such as files, emails, and photos, and you
will want to keep that information even if you download a virus or the system stops working properly.
How completely you are able to recover your files depends on how recent your backup is. As you add
new software and data files, you should create backups on a regular basis.
Tips for a successful backup
Number backup discs before inserting them into the optical drive.
Store personal files in the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries, and back up these
folders periodically.
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to re-enter your preferences.
To create a screen shot:
1.
Display the screen you want to save.
2.
Copy the screen image:
To copy only the active window, press
