Point taken, however there was another incident when GoBack worked when 'System Restore' would not. GoBack might have come preinstalled on my system, and if not was part of the software package that came with my system. Beforehand, I'd never heard of it. Having had problems with 'System Restore' when using WinME, my opinion of it's dependability was low. I had to learn of GoBack's intrusive nature the hard way. I've learned how to prevent GoBack from deleting files, knowing which one's are affected. I keep it around just on the off chance that 'System Restore' fails. In this particular incident, I had no faith in 'System Restore' since it failed to work the last time I attempted to use it, which brought on deja vu of WinME past.
