A friend of mine has a Win XP laptop that is misbehaving (I'm guessing a damaged registry due to mass quantities of spyware that I purged from the machine). She has an original restore disk that she made when she first got the machine. If we do a system restore to that state, I'm wondering if it will nuke all the programs on the machine since my understanding is that it rebuilds the registry. Does anybody know?
