Have you ever installed a program onto your computer and found that it causes all sorts of issues. Or your computer might not startup anymore after you have done some changes to it. There is hope for you. Windows System Restore is part of the Window XP operating system and gives you the ability to restore your computer to an earlier state. The good (or not so good) thing about it is that if you restore your computer to an earlier date (for example 10 days prior to now) you will not loose any documents, emails or pictures that has been created since then. It only sets back system settings such as program installs or system changes - not user created data. Below are the steps to start System Restore:
1. Restart your computer and press [F8] during the initial startup.
2. When you see the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select the Safe Mode with a Command Prompt option.
3. Select the Windows XP operating system.
4. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
5. Type the following command at a command prompt:C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
6. You will now see the System Restore program. Just follow the instructions on the screen.
Always remember that if you are having trouble fixing any software or hardware issues on your computer do not waste your valuable time, rather call a professional that can get straight to the point and get your issue resolved.

Here is a simple tip to make a copy of all your Favorites in Internet Explorer 7. The benefits of doing this is that you can make a backup copy of your favorites and save it somewhere else. You could also save a copy of your Favorites to a USB flash drive and take it with you. With this you can plug the flash drive into another computer and have all your favorites wherever you go.
Here is how you do it.
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Press the Alt key on your keyboard.
3. Notice at the top of Internet Explorer you have File, click on it.
4. Select Import and Export...
5. This will initiate a wizard. Click on Next
6. Select Export Favorites and click Next.
7. Following screen will show all you Favorties. I would recommend you export all your Favorites, so leave it highlighted on the top folder called Favorties. Click Next.
8. You will now need to select the destination where you want to export the favorites to. Click on the Browse button. I would recommend that you save it directly to you USB flash drive or you save it to your desktop for now and copy it later. Select either and click Save.
9. You are now back at the destination screen, click Next.
10. Click Finish and you will receive a message that the export was successful.
11. You can now view the exported Favorites by going to the location where you saved them.
That's this week's tip.
