128 Getting to Know the Windows® XP Operating System Lesson 13: Using System Restore The object is permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin. Later on-in your real work, not in this tutorial-you will use the Recycle Bin to delete other objects such as folders, documents, and sometimes even programs. Still, the process is the same. Just drag an object's icon to the Recycle Bin. If you change your mind and want to restore an object you sent to the Recycle Bin, select the object with the secondary button and click Restore. The operating system restores the object to the place from which it was deleted. When you are absolutely certain that you never want to see it again, delete it from the Recycle Bin. To delete everything from the Recycle Bin at once, choose Empty Recycle Bin from the File menu. Click Yes to confirm that you are sure. HINT: Empty the Recycle Bin periodically. Even though an item is moved to the Recycle Bin, it still uses valuable space on the hard disk drive until it is deleted from the Recycle Bin. Lesson 13: Using System Restore The System Restore feature allows you to return your computer to the way it was configured on a specific date or time, a "restore point." This is useful if you are reconfiguring your computer for new hardware or software. In the event that your hardware or software causes your computer to malfunction, you can remove the offending item(s) and restore the system to the state it was in at the preset time. To get to System Restore, click Start, point to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and click System Restore. The System Restore Welcome screen appears.
