On my Gateway computer I have the option to restore operating system and retain user data. Does anyone know what data will be retained?

Thanks

Hi heynetboy and welcome to WSF. To put it simply! That means that the Operating System will be restored. But, anything you have downloaded, Created, installed or saved! Will still be there. Minus the service pack if you did install it.
