I always think it's best to learn from our mistakes BUT I get a
fuzzier, warmer feeling knowing that I can reset everything even if I
stuff up. Call it an
insurance policy to guard against moments when I fail to use joined up
thinking, when I'm tired, not paying attention or suffering from severe
chocolate deficiency (don't, don't).
What we (who's this "we"
I hear you
ask, ok YOU then) can do is save how your computer is at
this point in time & make it so we can get back there easily
if, like me, you stuff things up gloriously (the only way to
stuff things up in my opinion).So next, for all you Windows XP owners,
is a step by step guide to making your own insurance policy for your
compy.
INGREDIENTS FOR MAKING A "JUST IN CASE I MESS EVERYTHING UP
GLORIOUSLY" INSURANCE POLICY
TYPE SETTING (Concise eh!)

• Go to START on your computer desktop


• PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - SYSTEM TOOLS - SYSTEM RESTORE

• Choose MAKE A RESTORE POINT

• Give your restore point a suitably descriptive name

• Choose CREATE & close when you have done

NOW you have a place to get back to should your compy try to mess up on you.
