I have just had to restore to an earlier date (couple of days ago). I
downloaded Real Player and saved it to a folder named Downloaded Files (well
I thought I did). I have since uninstalled Real Player but I thought I had
left the .exe file in the folder in case I wanted to re-install at a future
date. After the Restore that file is not there but there are files in there
that are before the date of the Real Player download. I was wondering if
System Restore would remove any files in that folder that I created. It
could be that I only thought I had the download in there and that it is only
on the other PC and not on this one.

System Restore does this "S/R reverts your system to an
earlier state" Well in the earlier state that file was
not there.

Being as you are able to 'Undo the last restore' I am presuming it is
storing that 'file' so do you know where it stores it.
