Step to create a System Restore point in window xp.

In this article we learn how to use the System Restore tool to return your computer to a previous state. System Restore takes a "snapshots" of critical system files and some program files and registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not functioning correctly, you can use these restore points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was functioning correctly.


Click Start->All Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools ->System Restore.

For Classic Start Menu: Click Start-> Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore.




Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.



In the Restore point description box, type a name to identify this restore point. System Restore automatically adds to this name the date and time that this Restore Point is created.


To finish creating this restore point, click Create.

You can also launch System Restore window by typing the command below, in the RUN box:

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Note:-System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos. You can only restore files that you have deleted if you have made backups of those files. To perform the System Restore, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator.
