My computer would not start it stopped at the Windows Welcome window. I went
into restore Windows. The system said that is would kept all of my old files
and data. When the system strated up, the Windows that was installed in like
it is brand new with no other programs or data (like docs) all of this
information was stored in a file called "Old disk structure" when you look in
this file everything is in there. Is there any way to restore these file and
setting back to it's orignal configuration? I have tryed restore and it show
no restore points since the newly installed Windows XP.
 
R.click on the file,select open.If it refuses,try "open with" select the
program..

You can copy the data to the new folders, but you must reinstall the
applications.

System Restore isn't for this purpose. To save this kind of thing, you
need imaging and backups.

You need backups, period; they don't have to be images, just some form
of extra copy of the files available.
