System Restore is used to load in a version of your OS prior to any program changes made to it. So if you were to install a new update and it was causing your system to become unstable, you could restore your system to a point prior to that update.

Can you use system restore to Uninstall a program?

No, System Restore cannot be used to uninstall a program directly. It is designed to revert your system files and settings to a previous state, effectively undoing recent changes, but it does not specifically target installed applications. To uninstall a program, you should use the "Add or Remove Programs" feature in Windows or the equivalent method on your operating system.

What is Restore.exe?

If you're running XP/Vista, I think that would be System Restore, which is a very important program. I have to use it all the time because I never learn my lesson and I keep hacking stuff. System Restore can be accessed through Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore and is used to revert settings to a previous time, if you make a change you don't like or that stops your computer working properly. Do not delete, hack, move, rename etc. that program.

What are the parts of a computer's window?

You have a menu bar and menus, and the first one is usually called "File," and it deals with loading and saving things. You may have a menu bar which has most commonly used tasks for that application or for Windows itself. In the upper right corner are the buttons for managing the current window, and that includes close (or exit if a program), minimize, and restore/maximize. Minimize removes the current view and gives you the last view you had before opening that window or program, placing an icon representation of the window in your system tray. Restore will let you toggle between maximized and whatever size you set it to. There may also be a status bar at the bottom which displays information. Windows also have dialog boxes that pop up when information or user interaction is needed, or when there are errors.
