I would like to restore my system to when it was newer and faster.
Will system restore remove programs I have downloaded like Thumbs and
Lightroom?
Thank you for any help.


See Dave's reply, but also note that uninstalling programs will *not*
make your computer any faster, What is *running* affects its speed;
what is installed does not.
