My main concern here that people don't take System Restore for granted.
Sorry if I frightened anyone from using it. Was not my intention. But, just
be careful and don't use it for every little problem your system
experiences.

Well, interesting comments re SystemRestore and GoBack have arisen..
I would add that one big difference between them is cost. I don't know
what GoBack costs, but System Restore is part of WindowsXP (&Me). I've
used it on quite a number of occasions, especially when I had WinMe. I
have never experienced a problem. Now I must ask how many footprints of
a complete system can GoBack hold? Each one surely must come close to
doubling the residency rate in a hard drive?
There also seems to be a feeling that SysRest will remove data. This is
not the case, excepting where the data may be saved in a specific
programme that has been d/l'd since the date of a SysRestore. SysRestore
also offers a large number of options(dates) to which a restore may be
made, which means that you can progressively move back in time until you
get to a stage where your system is back to normal (hopefully). How
many such options are available in GoBack?
Troth, your later comments are pretty valid, and I for one respect your
view, but I believe your computer 'savvy' is much broader than most of
us possess (regrettably), and therefore you have the ability to seek out
problems and resolve them without having to use programs that reverse
your system. Fair enough, but doing it your way is beyond me, generally
speaking.
My vote, at this stage, is for SystemRestore. It had got me out of so
many situations with absolute confidence and also, importantly, ease!
Cheers. I have enjoyed the responses, thanks, everyone.

GoBack accomplishes this task better than sys restore...sys restore only
changes system settings versus GoBack actually pictures a drive in a
previous state and reverts it to this state, before the problem occurred.
