I need a command --- HELP

I have had a crash problem caused by following tech support instructions from AT&T Yahoo.

I recall that 98SE had a command that would restore the system back to where it was prior to the glitch. AT&T told me it was not their fault that I followed their instruction and the system failed. It was my systems fault.

Does anyone remember the command to type into run to restore the system to previous working condition?

Boot it up, press F8 to get the boot menu, choose command prompt only. When you get the C prompt, type scanreg /restore. Choose a registry backup on a date where it was still working properly.
