wumply
if it is in the program directory and you installed after the restore point it will get deleted


example

monday - new restore point
tuesday installed office 97.exe into C;\ program files
and downloaded fungame.exe from kazaa,
c:\my share folder

also downloaded coolapp.exe into "My Documents" folder

wednesday - computer crashed restored back to monday

office 97 and fungame.exe are no longer inn my computer
coolapp.exe is still in my documents.
hope this helps
