I'm a rookie so this is technically uninspiring, but it serves me well. For my convenience, I added a desktop shortcut to
System Restore in Win XP. For perspective, I only recently achieved this level of ability. It's trivially easy: use Search Companion to find a file path, and trace it to the appropriate file. I found three paths in my computer and used the least exotic looking one. I may be the exception, but a one-click access to System Restore is a real convenience for me.

That could be rather handy!

Just make sure that the shortcut points to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\restore\rstrui.exe thumbup.gif
