These files are the backed up registry files from System Restore. Because you used the registry file that the
Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new

the most current folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same as the current time.
The current system configuration is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy
of the registry from a previous restore point to make the previous restore points available again.
The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to make sure that
