Re: xp pro

There is no difference in the way System Restore is designed to work in either Windows XP
or Windows Vista.

System Restore was not designed to uninstall programs. You need to use
the program's uninstaller to remove the program.

Against advice from almost everybody, I chose vista over XP pro on this
new
machine.

With xp, if I load something that doesn't work out, I could go to system
restore and back up a day or so and as far as it was concerned, nothing
was
added after that previous date I choose.

I loaded a program recently that scattered files off over the place like
spider webs. I thought, no problem, I'll just back vista up a couple days
and start over. SURE!! In the directions they provide they say system
restore won't touch those type directories. What good is it if it won't
do
what XP would do??

What a shame they had a good OS and they fool us with a lousy, non-working
OS. Grrrrr
