Don’t know what System Restore really is?

System Restore is a component of Microsoft’s Windows Me, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems that allows for the rolling back of system files, registry keys, installed programs, etc., to a previous state in the event of a failure. System Restore is a specific and systemic implementation of personal computer backup.

By default, Windows XP can open .ZIP file type without using any other 3rd party software. But sometimes, if we uninstall a 3rd party file compression software doesn’t restore Windows XP feature to open .ZIP file type.

To restore this feature again, just type this command from the Start -> Run menu.
REGSVR32 ZIPFLDR.DLL

cmd /c assoc .zip=CompressedFolder

Usually, to view Windows XP System Information we just go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. But what if for some reason you cannot access your Windows XP and you can only access the DOS prompt?

There are another way to view your Windows XP system information using the DOS prompt mode. Just click Start -> Run and then type “systeminfo” (without the quotes).
