Differences between Vista and 7's System Restore
I'm not sure why this is, but whenever I did a system restore with Vista SP2, it put my computer (and files!) exactly the way it way at the stated date and event of the restore point. It would even say that files were left untouched, yet newly downloaded files after said event were always gone.
Windows 7 System Restore is different in my experience. It leaves the files exactly as they were and only restores the system. This is less useful for me as recently installed programs have all the files still there, yet don't show up in the add/remove programs list. I have to manually clean things up.
So is there any way to get Win7 system restore to behave the same as it did (for me) in Vista?
