A closer look at Using System Restore
When a Windows XP user asks how to fix a problem they've recently started having with their PC my first response is to use System Restore to roll it back to a point just before the problem started. I've found the majority either don't know how to use it, don't know what it does, turned it off because it uses too much disk space and virtually all say that Microsoft's Help file is not very helpful to which I'd agree. However it is one of the best utilities Microsoft has ever written and works extremely well.
