Description
Creating a restoration point saves all of the computer’s programs and settings at the time of its creation.  Users create a restoration point before making a change that might alter the behavior of their computers, so they can use System Restore to undo the change if needed.  Once created, you will see the name of the restore point that you have created on the restoration point list with the date and time it was created.  You will be able to specify this restoration point when doing a System Restoration.

Method of operation
