after running sys rest. i am missing two programs. i thought only settings
change. where can i find my programs?
 
Hi,

System Restore monitors a core set of file types along with setting and
most of the registry. What happens is when a system is restored back to
a point before an application was installed only the unmonitored files
will be present, and monitored files will be gone. This will cause the
application not to function and may cause it's reinstall to also fail.
The best practice it to uninstall any application installed after the
restore point being restored to.

I would suggest undoing the restore just performed, uninstalling the
applications in question, then performing the original restore. Then
reinstall the missing applications
