Hi All,

Sometimes for whatever reason you may need to restore your windows laptop or
desktop computer to a previous point in time. Windows from time to time
takes snapshots of your computers system and stores them away so that in the
event of you perhaps installing something that does not work well with your
computer or perhaps a virus attack happens then you can go back in time to a
previous state when your computer did work properly. This tutorial covers
Windows 7 but later I will alter it for Windows XP users also.
Recently we learned how to make a restore point should we require it so now
we will learn how to restore  one of our  roll back states.

1. In Windows 7, first open the start menu, "Windows key" and type in the
word; Restore. System Restore should be the first result, press the enter
key and wait for the system restore dialogue box to come up.
2. If you are a mouse user just left mouse click on any of the items that
are mentioned here to access their controls  but if you are a keyboard user
then use the "Tab key" to move around and "Spacebar" to access any of the
controls, also the arrow keys will be used where there are list or combo
boxes to access.
The system restore first screen contains the following items;
*. Is this process reversible? Link, brings you into a help section which
explains more about the consequences of performing a system restore.
*. Next Button, Alt + N.
*. Cancel Button.
3. Left click once on the "Next Button"  or press keys, "Alt + N" to
activate the next button and move onto the next screen.
4. When the new screen pops up you are placed directly on a list box which
contains any recent restore points that you or your computer have created.
The amount of restore points on this list can vary from computer to
computer. Apart from the list of restore points this new screen contains the
following items;
*. List of restore points.
*. Scan for affected programs Button, Alt + A.
*. Back Button, Alt + B.
*. Next Button, Alt + N.
*. Cancel Button.
*. How do I choose a restore point? Link.
*. Show more check points button, Alt + M.
5. One of the choices above is "Show more restore points", this can be used
in a case where you feel that the first list of checkpoints you are given
aren't sufficient and you'd like to perhaps go back to an older checkpoint.
Check this option with the Spacebar or use "Alt + M" from the keyboard.
Mouse users tick this box. Once this box has been ticked more restore points
will pop up in the list .
6. Use the arrow keys to move through the list of available checkpoints or
if a mouse user then scroll through what is available to you in the list.
Notice as you move through the various checkpoints that  dates are varied
and not  sequential in that they aren't created each and every day, there
could be a few days between some of the restore points.
7. Once you have decided on a restore point, tab over to the "Next button,
"Alt + N", mouse users, left click once on the next button to proceed.
8. On this final screen you will have the following items;
*. Less back button, "Alt + B".
*. Finish button.
*. Cancel button.
Tab over to the "Finish button" and press the spacebar to begin the process,
note that you may also get a further warning to remind you that what you
have begun has to be completed or cancelled, choose the "OK" button if this
warning comes up and you are sure you wish to go ahead with the restore
process.

Notes: The process of restoring your computer to a previous state can take a
little time, this can vary on computers depending on processor speeds,
memory installed and so on so be patient.
