Unfortunately, I have installed a bunch of stuff and made other changes since
the restore and so don't want to reverse it -- I just have to remember my
changes to this software and try and reconstruct what I did. It would be nice
if I could restore specific files or folders rather than rolling back or
forward and clobbering everything.
Anyway, thanks.

Check the Undo last System Restore radiobutton, in the System Tools submenu,
and proceed to do that. that should put your data back as it was before. All
.exe files since the earlier time you restore to, are deleted. You should
remove any programs you installed between then and now, before restoring to an
earlier time.

Subject: [guispeak] warning -- windows ate my files!!!!!
Hello all --
Please excuse the cross posting, but I am broadcasting this not only as a
warning to other unsuspecting readers, but also a question as to whether or
not it is possible to recover files I lost using the restore command on the
system tools menu.
Restore put up a statement when it first started that it would not affect
email or other personal data files during a rollback. However, last week I
rolled back my system a week or so to fix a problem, and while it doesn't
appear to have affected my email, it did clobber a program I am working on.
It seems to have restored an earlier version of many of the files so I have
lost a week's worth of work on it.
Does anyone know if this can be undone?
Why, even though the files were in My Documents -- why did windows restore
those data files when it clearly said it would not touch personal data???
If there is a way to restore these files, could someone please explain how?
I do not trust these commands. I am quite hopping mad -- please excuse the
rant, it's just that I can't remember what all I modified during the week
and at least 4 of the files that I know I changed were rolled back.
Any help appreciated!!!!
TIA
