Undoing System Restore

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I did a System Restore and then when my computer was still acting up I read
that there was a Virus that was directed at Verizon users recently. I found
the date that the suspected Verizon "virus" was possibly installed and read
the Windows XP System Restore is fully reversible. BUT that's ALL the HELP
SAYS, it NEVER, EVER says how to actually reverse it!! Does anyone know
how??? I went back to System Restore and the restore points are no longer
bolded or selectable.

And as a side note: Why do FAQ never have questions you really want
answered? LOL

When you run System Restore to revert back to an earlier date System Restore
creates an "Undo" point. After the Restore if you revisit System Restore you
should see the "Undo my last change" option listed.
