Restore points

[g13lax]

Hello,
My friend just tried to run a restore on his computer (against my advice) and he somehow uninstalled all of his programs and reset his rights to standard user. I know for fact he didnt have any restore points on his computer (company computer, they dont have it turned on) would this restore go back to his fresh install? I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Thanks for any and all help.

Theoretically, it makes sense that that's how the restore wound up, particuarly with the lack of restoration points. From where he's at now, all I could think for him to do is to try and reinstall what he can, provided he has his programs/data backed up.

Isn't a system restore completely reversible?
