System Restore can restore the registry, local configuration file,+database, Windows File Protection (WFP) cache (wfp.dll), Windows Management Tools (WMI) database, Microsoft IIS metadata and the files that utilities copy to the restored archive by default. You can't specify what to restore: all or none.
System restore requires 200MB of available hard disk space to create data storage. If there is no 200MB free space, system restore will remain disabled, and the utility will start automatically when there is enough space. "System Restore" uses the first-in first-out (FIFO) storage mode: when the data storage reaches the set threshold, the utility will clear the old archive to make room for the new archive.
System Restore monitors many file types, including most file extensions (such as. Cats. dll，。 exe，。 inf，。 ini，。 MSI. Ole and. Sys), which is a common problem when installing new software. Note that the restore point creation event can only be triggered if the application installs an installer compatible with the system restore restorept.api.
Usually, if you know or "can roughly determine" the cause of the problem (for example, the recently installed device driver), system recovery will be simple. In some cases, using system restore may not be the best solution to some problems you encounter. System restore will change many different files and registry keys, sometimes replacing too many files or registry keys, which may lead to more complicated problems than you want to solve. For example, if you install Office XP, it will trigger "System Restore" to create a restore point, and the software package will run well after installation. But then you downloaded and installed an updated video driver. Because the driver is signed, its installation did not trigger the system to restore and create a restore point. At this time, your system crashed. Are you sure that the newly installed graphics card driver is the cause of all this? In this case, you should use the Return to Device Driver utility because it can solve the device driver problem without changing anything else on the system. System restore will restore your computer to the state before installing Office XP, so you must reinstall the whole software package after solving the driver problem.
In other words, system restore is something similar to software. For example, if your computer is installed with System Restore, it will slow down after a while, or you delete something you don't want to delete. You can use Restore to restore your computer to its original state.
Question 2: What does "system restore point" mean? System restore is an inherent function of XP. Usually when something goes wrong, it will return to normal. After recovery, it is what happened when you used it some time ago. To reinstall the system, you need to use XP CD, and install it after entering BIOS settings. Some software needs to be reshaped after installation before it can be used. The former is simple and quick to solve; The latter is more difficult and takes longer. Sometimes the problem is so serious that you have to reinstall the system. How to use system restore: right-click "My Computer"-Properties-System Restore-Settings-Close the monitoring disk of other disks C-OK. Then click Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore. You will be prompted to gradually return to the original point.
Question 3: What is the purpose of creating a restore point? Be specific. . You mean the "system restore" that comes with Windows, right?
After creation, you can return to the state when you created the restore point! ! !
Of course, not everything can be restored by the system restore function. Ghost is a common recovery tool at present.
For example, if you first create a restore point, then install a system patch, and then feel that you don't need this patch, you can return to the time when the patch was not installed. Simply put, it is going back in time! !
Question: What's the use of win7 system restore point? The restore point can restore the system to the restore point set when the system is normal through system restore when there is a problem in the system, so that the system can be restored to normal. The difference between it and backup is that you can freely choose the restore point when you restore (in general, there will be multiple restore points when the system is not closed). Backup and restore can only be restored to the system state when you make a backup. In other words, there is only one restore point for backup and recovery.
Question 5: What is the role of restore point in system recovery (system restoration)? Because the registry has been restored, you need to reinstall the program.
The registry is like a directory.
After reinstallation, the registry will be restored to the state at the time of backup, so the software installed after backup cannot work normally.
Question 6: What is the purpose of system restore? What are its advantages? Be specific. Thank you for using windows system restore.
The purpose of "System Restore" is to restore the system to work without reinstalling the operating system and destroying data files. "System Restore" adds this function to WindowsMe and has been used in operating systems above Windows Me. System Restore can restore the registry, local configuration file,+database, Windows File Protection (WFP) cache (wfp.dll), Windows Management Tools (WMI) database, Microsoft IIS metadata and the files that utilities copy to the restored archive by default. You can't specify what to restore: all or none.

Basic explanation
"System Restore" adds this function to WindowsMe and has been used in operating systems above Windows Me. The purpose of "System Restore" is to restore the system to work without reinstalling the operating system and destroying data files. The utility runs in the background and automatically creates a restore point when a trigger event occurs. Trigger events include application installation, automatic update installation, Microsoft backup application recovery, unsigned driver installation and manual creation of restore points. By default, the utility creates a restore point once a day.
Sometimes, installing programs or drivers will lead to unexpected changes in the computer, and even lead to instability and abnormal behavior of Windows. Usually, uninstalling programs or drivers can solve this problem. Users can undo computer system changes through recovery points without affecting personal files (such as files, emails or photos). System restore will affect Windows system files, programs and registry settings. It can also change batch files, scripts and other types of running files on the computer. System Restore can set the maximum utilization rate of 15% hard disk space. The old restore point will be deleted to keep the designated purpose of the hard disk. This may keep many users' restore points for several weeks or so. Some users who are worried about system performance and hard disk space may turn off system restore completely. Files stored on the hard disk partition will not be monitored by system restore, nor will backup or restore be run.
By default, System Restore can restore the registry, local configuration files,+database, Windows File Protection (WFP) cache (wfp.dll), Windows Management Tools (WMI) database, Microsoft metadata, and utilities copied to restored archived files.
Question 7: What is the "restore point" in the computer? In Windows XP system, we can use the "System Restore" function that comes with the system to record the changes we made to the system by setting the restore point. When the system fails, we can use the system recovery function to restore the system to the state before the change.
First, the actual combat system restore function
1. Ready
Before using this function, please confirm whether this function is turned on in Windows XP. Right-click my computer, select the Properties/System Restore tab, make sure that the "Turn off system restore on all drives" check box is not selected, and then make sure that the "partitions that need to be restored" are in the "Monitoring" state.
2. Create a restore point
Click Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → System Restore, run the system restore command, open the system restore wizard, select the Create Restore Point/Next button, fill in the restore name, and complete the creation of the restore point.
What needs to be explained here is: when creating a system restore point, make sure that there is enough hard disk space available, otherwise the creation may fail. The method of setting multiple restore points is the same as above, and will not be repeated here.
3. Restore the restore point
Open the System Restore Wizard, select Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time, click Next, select a date, and then use the wizard to restore.
It should be noted that the system will automatically restart after restoring the restore point. It is recommended that you quit all currently running programs before operation to prevent important files from being lost.
Second, the system restore function advanced operation
1. Set System Restore
The system restore function will take up a lot of hard disk space, which can be guaranteed by the "Settings" function. To cancel the "System Restore" function, simply cancel the "Turn off System Restore on All Drives" check box, delete the system restore point, and free up hard disk space. If you only want to recover a disk, deselect the "Turn off system recovery on all drives" check box, select the desired partition in the "Available drives" item, click "Settings", and then select "Turn off system recovery on this drive" to disable the system recovery function of this partition. In addition, you can limit the disk space used by the recovery function to partitions, select the partition to be set, click "Set", and then drag the row block in the pop-up setting window to adjust the space size.
2. Release redundant restore points
Restore points in Windows XP include automatic system creation and manual user creation. With the extension of service time, the restore point will increase and the hard disk space will decrease. At this point, redundant restore points can be released. Open my computer, select a disk, right-click it, select Properties/General, click Disk Cleanup, select the Other Options tab, click the Cleanup button under System Restore, and then click Y. ..
3. Handling of system recovery function failure
The system recovery function mentioned above is operated in Windows XP. If you can't access the Windows XP system, you can solve it by the following methods:
(1) Run System Restore in Safe Mode
If Windows XP can enter safe mode, you can restore the system in safe mode, and the steps are the same as "Restore to Original Point".
(2) Restore the system in 2)DOS mode.
If the system cannot enter the safe mode, press F8 at startup, select "Safe mode with mand prompt", log in as an administrator, enter the% systemroot% \ Windows system32Restore directory, find the rstrui file, run the rstrui file directly, and follow the prompts.
(3) When the restore point is lost, restore the system.
The system volume information folder is preset in Windows XP, usually hidden, and it stores the backup information of system recovery. Open the "Show All Files and Folders" property and uncheck "Hide Protected System Files" to see the "System Volume Information" folder on each disk. This folder can be used for data recovery.
Right-click My Computer, select Properties/System Restore, uncheck the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box, and then click Apply ... >>
Question 8: Is it necessary to disable windows system restore points? First of all, correct one point. The running speed has nothing to do with disk occupation.
The slower the system is used, the more complicated the system relationship is, not the market. Even if I give the system a full disk of 50G, as long as the internal relationship is clear, it will run faster than the disk of 10G.
Don't close the restore point, otherwise you really have to reinstall it. Windows can set space for each disk to use restore points. I set it to about 5 12MB (my disk is relatively large, and the system defaults to 1G), which can save the restore point for about one month.
The restore point will back up the system when you do various operations that may affect the installation of the system, very quickly, very quickly. Compared with the destructive reinstallation of Ghost, the restore point protects the data by more than 95% (the restore operation will empty the installed program link library after backup, including the virus Trojan).
Question 9: Why can the system restore point only be used today? System restore must manually create restore points or turn on automatic restore points. It's useless if you don't open it.
