I want to know – before I go ahead and reinstall Windows 7 – whether previous programs and files will be there or not.
I only have a restore point for an old date about six months ago, so I'm wondering if the system restore as well would cause losing some (or all) current programs and files.
@Willaim. Big thanks for the detailed answer. My solution to re-install the windows was because of serial damage because of playing around with some silly program called "removewat". That cost me a lot of time and effort to reach a proper solution. I guess this is all I can do since Safe Mode doesn't work anymore. Thanks – Digital site – 2012-04-21T20:14:41.857
System restore will also wipe any files on the desktop if added after the restore point you use, so many people use the desktop to store important files, which is a bad idea. – Moab – 2012-04-21T20:31:14.533
