To delete everything from the Recycle Bin at once, choose
Empty Recycle Bin from the File menu. Click Yes to

hard disk drive until it is deleted from the Recycle Bin.
Lesson 13: Using System Restore
The System Restore feature allows you to return your
computer to the way it was configured on a specific date or
time, a “restore point.” This is useful if you are reconfiguring
your computer for new hardware or software. In the event
that your hardware or software causes your computer to
malfunction, you can remove the offending item(s) and
restore the system to the state it was in at the preset time.
To get to System Restore, click Start, point to All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools and click System Restore.
The System Restore Welcome screen appears.
