System Restore Point

Hello everyone.

I have windows 7 installed on my computer system which I love a lot.
Today when I was just checking different settings of my computer, I suddenly noticed that I have not created any system restore point yet.

System Restore point like a 'milestone' or a 'save point' that points to the system settings of the computer at the time when you created the restore point.
There are two types of system restore points: One which saves only your current system settings and the other one which not only saves your system settings but also your personal files and data. This means restoring in the former case, only your settings and installed drivers and/or programs will be reversed but in later case, your personal files and data will also be taken back to the previous state.

Lets check how these two types of restore points are created in windows 7.

For restore point of type 1 i.e. restoring only the system setting:-->
Right click on your 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties'.

After this open 'System Protection'. System Protection dialog box will be opened. 

Click on 'Create' button. Add specific details in the prompted box and finally click on 'Create'.

Thats it. Your system restore point has been created. 
To create the System Restore point 2, i.e. to restore your data also, just switch the system protection 'on' for your disk partitions by clicking on 'Configure'.

Now the question is how to use your system restore point. Whenever you find any problem in your windows operating system that you are not able to crack, one simple solution is to restore to the point previously created by you.

 You can restore to any point but we generally restore to the most recent point.

Also in case you are about to re-install you windows in rare cases, then go for repair option. Then also you'll get a chance to restore your system to some previous setting.

So it is advisable to always keep save your latest and good working state of through system restore point.

Please post your queries. I'll try my level best to answer them.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Computing..!!!
