Why won't my computer restore to an earlier date?

How do I restore my computer to an earlier date?

  • A few days ago I tried to open a file in a different program, but instead, it changed a bunch of other files to that program. Now everytime I try to open one of them that program opens, and other programs do it too, such as the system restore file. Just today I tried to restore my computer without a disk, because i dont have one and somehow I think I put it in safe mode, so now it looks like an older version of windows. So can anyone tell me how to restore my computer to an earlier date without the disk. This has happened to me before and I fixed it. Also can anyone tell me why this keeps happening.

  • Answer:

    No need to restore an earlier date to do that, simply right click on the file, left click open with, choose the program you want it to open with, then check the box that says "always open with this program". Hit apply and okay.

It wold be a big help to know your OS.

You can't restore without a disk no matter what OS you have. And you probably didn't put it in safe mode, you could have just changed the screen. You probably highlighted all of your files when you opened in a different program. You will have to highlight each program that goes into the same program, right click, click 'open with' and choose which one that particular group goes in. Repeat this with each group of files. If this doesn't work try going to Best Buy or getting technical support from some other professional. Whatever you do, don't mess with your settings! All you will accomplish is having to buy a new computer.
