Most trouble starts right after you install a new program, upgrade a program to a newer version, or upgrade Windows to a new version. If a new program interfere with the operation of other programs or when Windows' operation and performance degrades over time. You may wish that you could return it to the way it ran a few weeks or months ago.
Windows XP contains a utility called System Restore, it was introduced in Windows Me. Windows System Restore watches your system work, when program are installed, changed, or deleted.
It keeps a log of changes how many changes you make to your system. You can also have it take a "snapshot" a (restore point) of the state of your system and save it. You might want to take a snapshot right after you have installed Windows for the first time, along with the applications you use. So if you decide that an installation or some other fault has damaged your system's stability, you can have System Restore return your system to the way it was when you took the restore point snapshot.

When have Windows System Restore create a restore point, it makes copies of the critical files that define how the system works and what applications it is registered to use in the Registry, Windows program files, and all other program files. It then stores these copies, which are used at a later time to restore the system to that state, in another location on your computer's hard drive.
Note: Not all files are copied, only program files. Your documents aren't stored Windows System Restore does not take the place of regular backups your files you create and edit. System Restore restores programs, not documents you created. It doesn't restore Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, text files, Web pages, or files in the My Documents folder.
