Sandy, Using restore is certainly one way to go. However, unless you made a restore point *before* you made the cleaning up mess you might not be able to restore to yesterday. Windows makes restore points periodically and if one was made yesterday then you can use that, but if it did not then you will have to use the restore point last made.

Is it possible to restore to yesterday's date? Sorry I'm a bit (to put it mildly) computer illiterate.
