System restore is a disaster recovery feature in Microsoft Windows Me and XP. This feature allows the user to revert crucial operating system files back to a previous recorded state (known as a 'restore point'). There are several reasons why a user might want to perform a system restore, including to repair the operating system in the aftermath of infection by a computer virus or if the Windows registry has become corrupted.

Just to give you a warning, there are times when you DON'T want to use System Restore. Specifically, when you've recently had a virus or other malicious program on your computer. Most anti-virus applications will advise you to turn System Restore off before cleaning the virus, this way System Restore doesn't put the virus back on, should you need to perform a restore at a later date.

System restore, restores you computer back to an earlier date.
It should/can be used if something is wrong with ur computer and if you have installed somthing that is effecting your computers performance. It will take ur computer back to an earlier date before you installed/changed the computers settings.
