I can understand your reluctance to use System Restore but I believe it is one of Windows best facilities and can get you out of a bind.

For example, from time to time I try out new utilities that I think will be of use to me, such as a PDF to Word converter or new faxing software. Now if one of those new apps mess up on installation it could mean that I have to do a complete reinstallation or, with System Restore, just go back to a point before the installation.

I do know that not all Windows facilities work the way they should but when they do they save a lot of hassle.

I will agree on one thing though, there are certainly no substitutes for regular backups.
