It is a very useful utility you should probably familiarize yourself with.

Many times I'll set a restore point before and after installing new software. I did that with both Firefox and T-Bird installs.

I keep a shortcut to System Restore on my desktops. This is the address for that shortcut:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe
