Answer» Every time I try to open System Restore (I accidentally deleted my documents folder, and can't get anything back. I don't know if a system restore will EVEN fix that, but I'd like to try...) I get an error that says
"System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain administrator."
I had a problem with System Restore in the past, but I just went to Control Panel > System > System Protection, and I made System Restore available to use again. I tried that this time, but oddly enough... The tab that I WOULD usually click to get there is gone!
The tabs that are there are: Computer Name, Hardware, Advanced, and Remote. No System Protection.
Here's a picture to show what I mean by the tab missing.
What can I do?
[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]System restore won't bring you data back, but that missing tab is a REASON to be concerned.
