Each date for which a Restore Point has been set will be marked as bold. When a boldfaced date is clicked, a description of the Restore Point will appear in a list to the right.

Other Restore Points may have been created automatically by applications when they were installed. 6 Select the desired Restore Point from the list, and then click Next. 7 Your Windows configuration will now be restored to the state it was in when the chosen Restore Point was created.
