For some of You out there, this article is may not interesting anymore, but I just wanna share this tips anyway. Usually I make my Restore Point just before I make any changes in registry or system settings in Windows, just incase, to prevent it from making my system unstable to run or making damages/errors in registry and my system in general. This may applied to You as well, when You wanna try new and unfamiliar softwares or a beta version of popular softwares. System Restore may come in handy to, when You wanna eliminate threats from most of malwares infection.
To start creating Restore Point where You can return Your system to its previous state, go to start menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools or look for System Restore then click on it (click again on Open System Protection), when System Properties menu appears then click on Create, type the name of Your Restore Point, click on Create again. Wait for a few seconds then its done.
To go back to Your Restore Point (if something bad or unexpected errors happened on Your Windows system), just go to start menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools or look for System Restore then click on it, click Next, choose the Restore Point which indicates good configuration on Your system or before something unexpected errors happened, then click Next again.
