Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Sorry but you are wrong.

When a system is restored using System Restore it replaces the current
registry with the registry snapshot taken when the restore point chosen
was created. (*note: some current values will persist)

Passwords in the SAM hive are not restored.

Here is a description of System Restore:

I've just discovered that a restore point is not a backup of the
registry, etc. If 1 restore point is bad then the previous r. points
are useless!!!!!! Think about that!!!

Who created the r. p. system?
