How Do I Use System Restore? 08/14/2006


Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur - Every time you download or install a new game, application, or software update, you make changes to your computer. Sometimes that change may make your system unstable. Have you ever wanted to go back to the way it was? With System Restore, you can.

System Restore works a lot like the Undo command in Microsoft Word. You can use System Restore to remove any system changes that were made since the last time you remember your computer working correctly. System Restore does not affect your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail) so you won't lose changes made to these files.

    Standard Windows Keyboard Layout - by Carol A. Bratt - Do you know what all of those different keys on your keyboard do? If you're like most people you don't have a clue what a good deal of them are capable of.

    A lot of folks don't even notice the Windows key on their key board and even if they do notice it, they don't know what it does. Usually after I have shown a user one of the uses of the Windows key, there's no holding them; they're clicking all over the place trying to see what else it will do.

    You're in luck because I'm going to show you in this article what a good deal of those keys on your keyboard are capable of.
