Does it return the computer to the manufacturer settings?

The recovery CD is an image of your computer. Normally taken at the factory or in some laptops such as ACERs you can create one when you first log into windows.
When booted, it will display the option to erase the contents of the hard drive and replace with this image.

Yes, it sets the laptop back to the original settings you had when you bought the computer new - including erasing all data you might have stored!! But if you have pop-ups and spyware, it WILL also delete that...............!

if you lose your laptop then you give someone the cd, they play it in their car and it will give you directions to your laptop.
