How to Browse the System Restore Files
System Restore files are snapshots that your computer system has made, and these snapshots are used to restore your computer to an earlier date, if needed. If you have a long list of System Restore files or restore points, you can easily access and browse through these files by using System Restore Explorer. Through System Restore Explorer, you can also select individual files to delete, if you'd like to clear up some space on your hard drive. You can browse System Restore files using the Windows Backup and Restore Wizard as well. Browsing System Restore files is an easy task that anyone can do.
