Easy, use the System Restore Program. This how you get there:
Accessing System Restore You must be a member of the computer administrator group on your computer to access the System Restore Wizard or change System Restore settings.
There are three methods that you can use to access System Restore functionality.
You can access the System Restore Wizard through the Start menu. To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
You can access System Restore through Control Panel. To open the System Restore Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance. Under See Also, click System Restore.
You can access System Restore through Help and Support Center. To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard.
For more information about System Restore, see System Restore overview.
When you have to select a restore point, select the date closest to 12 hours ago. The computer well shut down, restore to that date and then restart.
It sounds a whole lot harder then what it is. Good luck.

A restore point it the best suggestion for going back 12 hours. However you may have other programs that have taken a snapshot of your system. For example SpywareBlaster may have a restore point for you if installed. I think XPSmoker also has that option to restore to a previous point.
So check the programs you have installed to see if any of them offer a restore options. If you installed a program that you did not want, many times uninstalling it will put the computer back the way it was before the installation.
Good Luck
