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.

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 |

No crap after that.
