Hi,
In order to repair a background color problem of the desktop shortcut icons,
which I ran into today, I performed a System Restore based on a restore point
of yesterday (16May). The System Restore solved the problem of the desktop
icons' color, but at the expense of loss of data files on the D partition.
The lost data files where probably added to the D partition after the last
system restore point was made on 16 May.
Anyhow, is that a normal thing that data files get lost after System
Restore??? It looks like an enormous bug.
please reply,
thanks
it's because system restore is monitoring the other drives.... thru
default measures, it notices the changes and fixes them...
Solution is to turn off monitoring of those and any pure data storage
partitions... Those specific partions/drives should be external and
backed up to other media...
System Restore isn't bugged... it's just more powerful than people
think... and many don't...
