Mount and Access System Restore Points in Windows Using System Restore Explorer
Many times we advise to create System Restore point in Windows before trying a new customization pack, tweaking software, etc. System Restore in Windows allows you to restore your system to an earlier point when your system was working fine. It might become very useful when you break something and can’t boot into Windows.
When you decide to restore a file or setting using System Restore, all other files and settings also get restored and you lose your customized settings and new version of files.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could access the whole restore point as a folder in Windows Explorer and then copy and paste the desired file only?

The problem I have is not explained here, how to fix it, it is this: the system restore point is created successfully, but when I try to use it, it is not found (doesn’t exist).
