Not looking to do a major do-over, but sometimes you make that one decision, just a dumb decision, that even though you thought it through, you still went down a road that afterwards you were like " should of went with that gut instinct".

Flip a switch and start right before you made that decision. Of course one would have to be limited on the amount of restore points either accumulated or or finite, and how far back that restoration would go would also be limited.

Something I just thought about in the last 20 minutes.

    I accidentally clipped a turtle on a gravel road with my truck. I set it off to the side of the road next to a stream seeing how bad it was hurt, nothing was going to save it. I still feel bad about it.
In my experience, system restore points don't always work as expected ;-)

LOL.
If life had system restore points... they wouldn't work any better than Windows System Restore does.
You'd use a life restore point and go back a a week or so... but it would be corrupt.
You'd end up with an arm sticking out of your forehead or something. :D

Going back in time may stop you making a mistake but given there are an infinite number of mistakes you can make compared with making the right choice, you are still doomed. You cannot cheat the "Fate Gremlins" - in physics, it is called Entropy.

If you could do a restore you wouldn't remember what you did and would only do it again.
