No - system restore is designed to 'roll back' your computer to a point in time before a problem occurred. It will undo installations, but not restore deleted files.

How do you restore windows system files if it was accidentally deleted or if it was infected by viruses?

Unfortanetly you can't restore deleted system files. You can only delet files that you created. I expect that you may be experiencing problems with your computer because system files control how the computer works. For the infected system file I would get the newest version of Norton Antivirus because it automatically will delet any viruses and will restore the infected file or folder. Actually I may have or may not have found a solution to your deletion problem. Get Norton System works which keeps a history of your deletions so you can restore anything that you have deleted on your computer. If neither of these work then you should get a new computer. Don't get angry if you had to pay a large amount of money because when you get a new computer the Norton software won't let you down.
