    Is creating a system restore point very important? How does it work and why should I create one?

    It basically saves the current state of your system. Advisable before making any critical changes so the OS can be restored to a previous working state.

    Actually it essentially only backs up the registry and system files:

    Sounds like a homework question.

    That's what I meant, I guess I should have been more clear  ;D
