The System Restore function was one of the most useful features in Windows XP. This handy feature allows users to go back in time and undo recent changes that made the system unstable or caused other problems.
Many owners of Windows 7 computers do not realize that the System Restore function they found so useful in Windows XP is still there in the new operating system. In fact System Restore is an integral part of Windows 7, and it serves the same function it did in earlier version of Windows.
