Resetting Files Back in Time

[Adriana]

Is there a "Go back" tool where I can reset everything back i.e. 1 hr, 1 day?

Yes you can go back to previous versions of files and folders, but not AFAIK
control the roll-back by specific time limits.

Depending on your Vista version, for individual files and folders

Vista Home Premium (maybe basic, don't know) - download ShadowExplorer -
it's basic but it works and allows you to "extract" previous versions
Vista Business, Enterprise, Ultimate - use the Previous Versions tab on File
or Folder Properties (I don't know if there is a Previous Version tab at
drive level...)

If you are very technicall inclined see Adi Oltean's blog, particularly

A good backup plan would let you you do what you want with file shadows.
