What happens when you go back to a restore point?
Is EVERYTHING on the computer back to how it was? Or just the files in C:\Windows or something picky like that?

it restores your computer back to the time when you last created a restore point. for example, lets say i created a restore point on march 1, 2004. its january 2, 2005 and i screwed up my comp. so i would use the system restore to restore my computer back to march 1, 2004. windows automaticly makes restore points by default.

all programs and settings are restored to the date you choose.

all files remain as is.

I just use windows recovery, makes it go back to factory settings. 99% wipe out crap in your comp!

takes your important settings and core files back to a certai point...

Grr, I can't go back past the New Year, and now I need to.
>_> I hope Windoze didn't delete the previous system restores since 2004 was over
I know I always get a system restore with Spybot.. hmm.
Might have unchecked that little box in the Control Panel > System > System Restore box

windows recovery doesn't remove crap on computers. it go backs and restore/recover the things from the date you want it to go to.



spybot is not system restores... spybot only remove spyware and adware for you. it won't restore your computer.

ok well I don't update the recovery point so that I can restore myself to factory settings. No crap after that.

oh im learning IN LEARING!!!!!
