Lesson 13: Using System Restore

HINT: Empty the Recycle Bin periodically. Even though an
item is moved to the Recycle Bin, it still uses valuable space
on the hard disk drive until it is deleted from the Recycle Bin.

Lesson 13: Using System Restore

The System Restore feature allows you to return your computer to
the way it was configured on a specific date or time, a “restore
point.” This is useful if you are reconfiguring your computer for
new hardware or software. In the event that your hardware or
software causes your computer to malfunction, you can remove
the offending item(s) and restore the system to the state it was in at
the preset time.

To open System Restore, click Start, point to All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools and System Restore.

The System Restore Welcome screen appears.
