Hopefully should tell you how to do what you want.

Assumed you have XP - but if not I'm sure there is a similar MS article for other Operating Systems

It tells you how to restore to any restore point that is available.

Anyway, here's the Vista one:

How do I start System Restore?

• Open System Restore by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then clicking System Restore.* If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.


NoteBefore you start System Restore, save any open files and close all programs. System Restore will restart your computer.

How do I choose a restore point?
System Restore automatically recommends the most recent restore point created before a significant change, such as installing a program. You can also choose from a list of restore points. Try using restore points created just before the date and time you started noticing problems.

How long are restore points saved?
Restore points are saved until the hard disk space System Restore reserves is filled up. As new restore points are created, old ones are deleted. If you turn off System Protection (the feature that creates restore points) on a disk, all restore points are deleted from that disk. When you turn System Protection back on, new restore points are created.

If in doubt, here's one with pics

If it doesn't give you restore options before that date I reckon it's because there are no restores held before that. Maybe the disk allocation for System restore was very small and hence it can only save a couple of days ?
