POWER USERS’ CLINIC SYSTEM RESTORE VS.
YOUR HARD DRIVE

Ever wonder where Windows stashes all those backup copies
of your operating system? They’re in a folder called System
Volume Information, which is in your Local Disk (C:) window.

Inside that are individual files for each restore point. (System
Volume Information is generally an invisible folder, but you
can make it visible by following the instructions on “Accessing

Shared Folders”. You still won’t be allowed to move, rename,
or delete it, however—thank goodness. In fact, you won’t even
be able to look inside it.)
