System Restore in Windows XP - How to Guide

Posted by admin

Everyone should learn how to use Microsoft’s System Restore.  With all the things that can go wrong with computer now a days, spyware, viruses, bad installs the average person needs to be able to Restore his PC back to a working state. 

System Restore will automatically create restore points when you do certain actions, like installing new software, drivers and some automatic updates.  It’s a very good idea to know how to set a Manual Restore Point.  I like to set a restore point before I do any deleting of programs, cleaning off viruses/spyware, ECT.  This way if anything goes’s wrong; you can get your computer back to a working state.  I then like to set another restore point after I get the computer running great.
