87.SOLUTION : The System Restore feature actually restores the system to the last snapshot taken by Windows Me. It is deliberately does not install the applications that were installed after this time, because they might have caused the sytem to crash. Windows Me takes these snapshots at some intervals, or at the time specified by the user.
You can disable the option completely, but there is no way you can disable it from any wiping off the applications. However, here is what you can do. You can get Windows Me to take a snapshot of the system just before you install an applicatioln, and it works fine, take another one after the installation.
