System Restore


System restore is a valued feature in Microsoft's Windows XP. System restore allows users to roll back their computer to how is was at an earlier time, restoring program files, registry keys and system files. This can be essential if the user has run into problems and is getting errors in XP. Basically, you can choose to back up XP by creating a system restore point. You can then at a later date, restore XP back to that state. You can create more than one restore point, and XP will create restore points from time to time and before installing some software or updates. This tutorial aims to cover 3 aspects of system restore and enable the user to: 1: Create a system restore point 2: Restore XP to an earlier state 3: Delete all but the last created restore point.
1: How to create a system restore point
Step 1) To create a system restore point, from the desktop navigate to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore (click here to see image) (alternatively navigate to Start > Run and type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe) Step 2) Select "Create a Restore Point", then click next.
