I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Win XP Home Edition PC
and have made several changes to many images. I can not find the Help
icon on the main Photoshop screen. It was there yesterday. My
question : If I restore my computer to the date of installation will
this delete the changes I made in Photoshop and bring back the Help
icon.?
If you restore to the "date of installation" using the restore CD or
whatever method you were provided with, you will definitly lose ALL data
on the computer. That kind of a restore makes the PC like it was on the
day you received it.
But ... there are different kinds of "restores" and people often mix
them up. If you're talking about System Restore (Start, Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, System Restore, that's a different kind of
restore. That "restore" would restore your computer system-wise to
whatever date you chose, which might or might not bring back the missing
help.
It would have NO effect on any of the images though; they would not
be changed in any way. This restore only restors "system" settings;
things in the registry and other operating system areas that make the
machine run.
So, you really need to supply more information to get a targeted,
accurate response. What kind of restore do you mean? If you can't
explain it, give the steps used to initiate it; that would be meaningful
to identify what you're trying to do or want to do.
