Q: I have Windows 2000 Pro on my home box (yes, I know Windows and Bill Gates sux, and that LinuxMacOXUnix infinitely superior). I also use Windows XP Pro on work.
One feature I like about XP is the System Restore feature. Does anyone know if Win 2000 has something similar, perhaps buried deep in the program or on the CD?
If not, is there a program available as a plug-in for Windows 2000 to a function which ensure that something like this?
Thanks in Advance.

Best Answer: You wrote, "We have the licence [sic] certificate with all the licence [sic] numbers on there…"
Any old Windows 2000 CD will not work. If your license is from an OEM version of Windows 2000, you'll need an OEM Win2000 CD.
If your license is from a retail version, then you'll need a retail Win2000 CD.
You did not specify the make of your laptop, but I'm aware that Dell systems have the license code sticker on them. Those are OEM key codes so pretty much any Dell system restore Win2000 CD will work.
Retail key code = Retail CD
OEM key code = OEM CD
Good luck!

Re:Norton GoBack (used to be Roxio GoBack) offers something similiar to System Restore. I don't have any personal experience with it but I hear it does a good job.

Re:To be honest, the Win XP restore is no better than the ME one… I speak from experience… Both Restores tend to screw things up more than they fix. For instance, remnants of files can still exist after doing a restore, etc… The bext bet is to get a touch button external hardrive backup system, which can be had pretty reasonably priced. Much better experiences with backups than system restore.
If it is any consolation… I had less problems overall with Win2000 Pro than any other OS including XP!!! It is extremely stable. Good luck with everything!

Re:There's no System Restore built into Win2k, you'd have to rely on a third party piece of software to do it. (Like Norton Go Back or similar)

Re:If I remember correctly that feature was first introduced in Windows ME, but wasn't put in 2000. You could get a third party software that will do the same thing though so all is not lost.
