No, Windows XP System Restore, if that's what you are referring to, restores
your OS registry, desktop, hardware drivers and application settings to an
earlier date before you've
later installed any application or utility.
Microsoft word has an auto backup feature that's turned on by default. It
could be that
MS word autobackup might have been compromised by Windows XP System Restore
which is turned
on by defualt after Windows XP is installed. System Restore constantly monitors
your system in the background as changes take place on your hard drive. But I
doubt that System Restore compromised anything here.
Speaking of backups I'am currently beta testing Ghost 2006 from which I've
been selected to do.
I' am impressed with it when I did a full volume image backup with it yesturday.
As Wayne should know Symantec loves me much and due to my NDA this is all I can
tell you here.

Hi,
Friend had a trojan a few days ago. Norton could not clean it up
completely. So he went back to an older setup. Things were still not quite
right, so he re-installed WinXP (Pro BTW).
During that process, a data file (Word doc), located on the same partition,
appeared to be a week older. All the recent changes in the .doc lost.
We're puzzled - how did that happen?
Does WinXP mess with data files, when you go back to an earlier setup, as in
this case. Hard to believe.
Regards,
Rich
