Default Setpoint or go-back

Hello --

I know that XP has the ability to establish setpoints so that the system can
be restored to the state prior to a specified setpoint (e.g., after
installing a bad application or driver). Where in XP can I find this (its
probably called something else)?

Thanks,
Don Culp

It's called System Restore. To configure it, right-click on My Computer and
choose Properties. To run it, go to Start | Programs | Accessories | System
Tools

The site of MVP Bert Kinney has excellent.info on this:

It's called System Restore. You can find it by going to Start - Programs -
Accessories - System Tools - System Restore. There is also a link to it in
the Help and Support window.
