Here's the article:
How to start the System Restore tool by using the safe mode option with the
Command prompt in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449

but the short version is:
1) Boot to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
2) Type in c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and press enter. (In Win7,
it's c:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe)
3) Follow the prompts to whatever date you want to restore to, and complete
the operation.

Pretty simple, really :-)

Thanks Tom. The odd thing is that even when I had Zone Alarm Suite NOT to
load at startup and then rebooted, SR didnt work. I had to totally uninstal
it . Or revert to a much earlier vesrion of it. So it seems that componenets
of the ZASS continue interefering with SR even when disabled.

If what you say is true, it might not make much of a difference switching to
a different security product, since its hard to say beforehand waht that one
will do to SR. If simply disabling were enough, it wouldnt be an
incoveneience.

Running SR in Safe Mode has the drawback that the option to Undo Restore
doesnt happen when you do it that way.

Thank again:
