Windows System Restore: how it can save your PC
I recently had a large bout of spy ware on my PC, which consequently left my computer paralysed and unable to connect to the Internet! This can be kind of frustrating when you are a web developer: there is only so much I can do on my localhost.
Fortuity, after countless hours spent trying to debug the situation I remembered that Windows XP has a feature called System Restore. System Restore automatically backs up registry and system files whenever you install new software or drivers. System Restore returns your computer to an earlier time (called a restore point) without causing you to lose recent work, such as saved files, history and favourite lists. What’s more, all changes made by System Restore are completely reversible, what more could you want.
To find System Restore go to your start menu then: All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore.
