Hello.

Do you mean System Restore? To reverse a system restore, simply start System Restore and click the option labeled Undo My Last Restoration. Windows XP completely reverses the status of the restore you last performed.

Hi Chosen, unfortunately that file is lost.

Where it was stored on the disk will have been over written.
You can try a program called Final Recovery - but you need to buy it.

That's your best - albiet very slim - chance of getting files back
