Below is a link of System Restore and it is not supposed to role a computer
totally back to previous state but instead tracks important system files and
registry settings in case there are problems with operating system
functionality. It sounds like you would want an image type program such as
Ghost and create an image of the system drive before you make changes for
possible restoration if need be. Also look at the free Microsoft Share
Computer Toolkit where you can configure the computer to rollback changes
that are made at the next startup with various options that allow a lot of
flexibility. That is available at the second link below. --- Steve
