Understanding And Customizing System Restore In Windows 7

As you all know that System Restore is one of the important components of Microsoft Windows, it allows you to roll back(restore) system files, registry keys, installed programs, etc to a previous state in case of any disaster. Although Windows Vista provides the enhanced System Restore functionality, the upcoming Window 7 is aimed to improve it more. Now, get ready to experience the System Restore features of Windows 7.

First of all right click  Computer and select Properties. You can right-click Computer in the Start menu, but I prefer using it as a desktop shortcut.

computer-properties

In Properties window, click System Protection.

system-protection1

Now, System Properties dialogue box will be opened, click System Restore under System Protection tab.

A new window will open, here click Next.

Click Next, view and confirm restore settings and click Finish, Windows 7 will restore your system from specified restore point.
