Be very careful if you have multiple drives in your system!! It is
likely that a "System Restore" will reverse all changes to the other
drives also. If you have data on those drives such as video, backups,
etc, and if "System Restore" is monitoring those drives, a system
restore will remove that data if it is newer than the date you are
restoring to. The link that Matt provided discusses the "System
Restore" options windows. I suggest that you turn off monitoring for
any drives other than your system disk. If you do a restore on your
system disk, and you keep your data somewhere other than the default
"My Documents" folder, it is likely that you will lose data here as
well. You should backup your data before doing a "System Restore".

System Restore does NOT remove a user's files stored on the system. It
reverses changes made to the registry by programs being installed and a
person changing Windows settings.
