Hi,
Windows Mail will still be there, you should still be able to find it in the Start menu.
Just remove the shortcut to Windows Live Mail. If for some reason you can't find it, just
head over to \Program Files\Windows Mail and run the winmail program yourself. Naturally you
can also create a new shortcut for it too.
The amount of restore points will depend on how much disk space you have available, so it can
go back only a few days or months depending on what's available and how many changes have
been made to the system. Additionally, these restore points are only made every 24 hours (if
your machine is on and idle) or when you install/uninstall software.
