Question

Answer 1

If you want to use Windows supplied software to burn your disc - insert the blank CD into the drive. Browse for the folder where your backup is. Right click on the folder - choose send to (whatever drive letter your CD/RW is) (usually 'D') You will get the balloon message - "file waiting to be copied" -click the balloon - click on the file - click burn the CD.
System Restore is run through Start/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. I doubt very much if you can roll your system back that far.
Personally - I think System Restore is NOT the way to go. If you are having problems that virus scans or Ad removal programs can't get rid of - format and start over.

Answer 2

Put in a blank disk | open my computer | open disk drive | paste those files in here | then click on write to disk

Then start | programs | accessories | system tools | system restore | restore my computer to an earlier date | next | choose that date and next

I am assuming you are using windows xp. For step 2 go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. It explains on how to use system restore. For step 1. If you have a cd burner just use a cd to store your pictures and word documents while you do your system restore.

Answer 4

put files to disk, insert blank disk and copy all your documents onto it.

system restore...
click start, all programs, accessories, system tools and system restore...just follow the instructions from there

Answer 5

An easy way is find all the files you want to save, select them, and right-click send to cd.

But I would seperate them by cd, or folders, depending on how many you have.
