Additional way to Sytem Restore

Sometimes for whatever reason it can be easier or quicker to use the command line. Also there are times you can't even get into Windows. Here is an alternate as a last resort.

1. Reboot into safe mode with a command prompt.
2. Get to an administrator account so that you have the needed permissions to get things done.
3. At the command prompt, type: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions to restore your PC to an earlier state of operation.
