What difference in using a restore point and rolling back a registry backup

[hadi]

Hi
Is there much difference if I rollback using XP system restore OR a registry backed up using ERUNT http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/
supposing that both (a restore point and registry backup)are taken at the same time. Thanks

Hi hadi,
There is a little bit of difference as a system restore point will also include changes to important files

You can read about System Restore Points on the microsoft site here (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/app_system_restore_hss_overview.mspx)
There is a section there on "Understanding System Restore"

Hope that helps
