Restore a File in Vista

Windows Vista has a neat feature called "Shadow Copy". This is basically a file protection mechanism that can save you a lot of headaches.

For example: Have you ever been working on a file and then done some edits or accidentally deleted something, but hit the save button? This happens to me all the time and it's extremely frustrating. Generally when this happens you have to go back and redo the work.

However, with Vista "Shadow Copy" it automatically creates point in time copies of files as you work, so if you do make a mess of something, it is very easy to retrieve previous versions.

If you need to restore an earlier version of a file, here is how you can do it:

• Click on the file or folder you want
• Select "Restore Previous Versions"
• Click and select the version
• Click "Restore"
• Done!
