Hi guys!

I want to know how to get back to any system restore point in WinXP professional.

My actual problem is that i have sum files with .7z format which open with a compressing agent named as 7z provided by digit!, by mistake i have set it to open with IE.

Is there any other way of changing this setting instead of going back to any restore point?

If not, plz tell me how to set back to any old system restore point.

Open 7-Zip, goto Tools -> Options and select the checkbox for 7z and apply it.
It should solve ur problem...

else , a simple way is to right click on the archive, go to openwith menu > Choose Program > choose 7z in the top list and then check the below checkbox sayin that Always use this for all files like this or somethin...
and press ok

Plz read my post once again.

I said that mistakenly i have choosen "Always use IE to open it"
how should i revert to 7z?

If possible plz tell me how to go back to any system restore point?

What do you mean? That u are not getting an option to "Open with.." in the context menu? Then hold down ur shift key while right clicking on the file. Then try out what he said.
Else, goto "Tools->folder options, click on the "File Types" tab, scroll down to .7z, select it and in the area below u see a button to change the default application.

reinstall 7z and allocate it the extension if it asks
else it should automatically associate that extension with itself on reinstall
