Restoring Your Operating System
The Microsoft Windows operating system provides System Restore to allow
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. See the Windows Help
and Support Center for information on using System Restore.
NOTICE:
Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not
monitor your data files or recover them.
