Hi Tracy,

System Restore does not monitor image files. Use the following information to assist in recovering the deleted files.

Read here: "Error: Can't Access System Restore - Disabled by Group Policy - or System Restore tab missing" at http://bertk.mvps.org/html/error.html

Please be aware that Regedit is an extremely powerful and dangerous tool. If you do this incorrectly, you can render your computer unbootable. So if you've never used it before, you might want to ask a more experienced friend to help you.



i really need to do a
system restore. thanks

Why? How do you know that? What do you expect it to do for you? Just in case you don't know this, let me point out that it will *not* restore any data files you may have lost.
