Re: Complete system restore.

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Angie - you may have received a system or restore CD with the computer which
would "restore" to the day of purchase - and would include programs
initially installed.
Removing installation via control panel or manually would be time consuming
and result in much "artifact" on the computer.
Of course and option is a clean install - reformat and installation of
Windows - also requiring instillation of any programs
Another thought - saving data you want to preserve.

I have Windows XP Home edition. I am looking to restore my computer to the
day I first got it. I can only restore back to June of this year. I was
wondering how I'd go about doing a complete system restore. I looked into
programs that erase your hard drive but I don't want to have to reinstall
my
Windows. Can anyone help?
