Saving system configuration with Restore Points The System Restore feature of the Windows® operating system quickly creates Restore Points—‘snapshots’ of your Windows® operating system configuration—and saves them for later recall. If you experience problems after installing some new hardware or software, you can easily select a previously established Control Point to ‘turn back the clock,’ restoring the Windows® operating system to the state it was in just prior to the installation. This is much easier and more effective than uninstalling the hardware or software, which often leaves behind unwanted files and settings. It is also easy to undo a Restore Point selection, if you change your mind. Follow these steps to create a Restore Point using the System Restore utility: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. 2 Click open System Protection. The System Protection tab of the System Properties window appears. 3 Click Create. If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits 4 In the input field, enter a name that is descriptive enough to be easily understood in the future, such as “Before installing Brand X Accounting app.” Then click Create. 5 The Windows® operating system creates the Restore Point, automatically stamps it with the current date and time, and displays a message that the restore point was successfully created. 6 Click OK. Then, at a later time, you can re-establish your Windows® configuration using the saved Restore Point. To do this: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. 2 Click Next. 3 A list of previously created Restore Points displays, showing the timestamp and description of each Restore Point. NOTE This list may contain Restore Points that you did not create. Restore Points labeled System Checkpoint were automatically created by the Windows® operating system. Other Restore Points may have been created automatically by applications when they were installed. 4 Select the Restore Point you want to use, and then click Next. The utility displays the timestamp and description of the selected Restore Point. 5 Verify that the Restore Point you selected is the correct one. If it is not, click Back to return to step 4. 6 Close all programs and save all open files. 7 Click Finish, and then Yes to begin the system restore. 8 Your Windows® operating system configuration will now be restored to the state it was in when the chosen Restore Point was created, and then the computer will be automatically restarted.
