You might want to turn on System Restore

Posted by Tony Lauck on July 4, 2008 at 14:47:56:
You might want to turn on System Restore before you start doing any fancy system configuration work! I got real clever with one of my computers last month and trashed it totally. Turns out I had turned off system restore and was unable to recover from one trivial mistake. I had to restore everything from backups. This took all night, because my system configuration was outdated and I had to run all the SP updates. (Usually this happens every few years, just long enough that I have forgotten how to do it efficiently.)
