First, let's say that no, it is not possible to go back a day in your system memory and restore files  ???

Windows XP System Restore is primarily used for restoring configurations that have been corrupted and prevent your PC from starting/running correctly.  :(

What you need is a utility like Recuva (http://www.recuva.com/) to scan your hard disk for deleted/corrupted files and then restore them.  ;D

Thanks and good luck.

Did you delete a photo? It would still be in the recycle unless you are one of the people who have the bad habit of throwing out the trash compulsively. :'(

As gold said, System Restore will NOT restore non-system file.
