How to manually recover restore points in Windows 7?
In XP, there was a way to go to the command prompt and manually recover restore points. As I remember, the filenames and dates were strange, but this process still saved the day a few times.
Is there a way to do this with Windows 7? If so, I would need to know the detailed steps, or a link to a site that shows the steps--something I have not yet been able to find. TIA

BTW, the following link pretty much describes what I did to recover registry files from recovery points in WinXP.

Not sure if that is what sasllc is referring to or not.

This was on a Lenovo PC, and I did not realize that they give you an easy way to do this by first pressing F11 during the boot process. Normally one would use F11 in order to do a full system restore on these computers, but it ends up that there is a menu option that can access the restore points. The screen looks just like it would in Windows, and it worked out great.
yes, some manufacturers provide that option, but not all
note that using it on a bad disk only makes things worse...so best test the drive before doing that
