Hello,

Regarding "Restore Points"

Could someone please summarize what is actually saved with a Restore Point.

And, more importantly, what is not ?

e.g., are WORD documents restored ?
Programs ?
etc. ?

Thank you,
Bob

Hello Bob,

In addition, when you can see what programs and drivers the system restore will affect before doing it in step 8 of the tutorial below. It is a restore point of your system files, registry, programs, drivers, and their settings.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
