It's in the directions. Here's the screen: Select a Restore Point Help The following calendar displays in bold all of the dates that have restore points available. The list displays the restore points that are available for the selected date. Possible types of restore points are: system checkpoints (scheduled restore points created by your computer), manual restore points (restore points created by you), and installation restore points (automatic restore points created when certain programs are installed). ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael McDermott To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 7:09 PM Subject: RE: MS.

Restore Points As the lister said, just follow directions, but to look for workable points to which to restore, use insert F to determine if the date and time are in bold. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael McDermott To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 3:34 PM Subject: MS. Restore Points Hi all I was wondering if any one has experience with the system restore program found under accessories\system tools. My friend told me it can be used to restore the system back before you screw it up. He suggests creating a restore point before allowing windows updates. I tried creating a restore point, and it seemed easy enough, but I wonder how hard it is to retrieve it?
