System Restore - changing data?
Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance
I've just realised that System Restore actually ALTERS data, i.e adds
duplicate folders. Is that correct? Has this always been the case? Or
is it just on my newish XP Pro PC, as against my old XP Home system?
Surely that screws up the whole concept, which I'd thought was to
backup/restore just the REGISTRY?
