How do you do a "Quick Restore"? I don't know why I can't figure this out. In the past, I've been able to do a Quick Restore to take my computer back to a time when it wasn't painfully slow or annoying me in some other way.
Now, I can't figure out where to find the the Quick Restore option and the "Help function" didn't help. (I've been looking at various menus in "Control Panel".)
There are only two possible explanations for my inability to do this. Either someone broke into my appartment and took nothing...but changed something on my computer...... or I've gotten a lot dumber in the past few months. I prefer the first one. (I'm using Windows XP Home Edition.) |

| use the search function on your computer and find the location for 'system restore' and the rest should be easy. |

Thanks Clutch Cargo. It helps if you use the correct name for the function you're searching for. I was looking for "Quick Restore" and I didn't see the option to look under "Accessories."  |

| Thanks, Sammi. After using the correct terminology, I did manage to find the instructions. But I'll keep your post for future reference. |
