How to Create a System Restore Point

Creating a System Restore Point in Windows 7 is a quick way to protect yourself from system crashes. System Restore Points are a kind of insurance policy. The System Restore feature creates a record of a point in time when your settings and programs all seem to be humming along just fine. If anything causes the system to crash and burn, simply run a System Restore and take everything back to the way it was before the crash.
