When restarting my PC, I inadvertantly checked "Remove all changes at restart". Does this include all changes since the last restart? or just the last function performed? I lost about two weeks of Outlook email activity. Is any of this recoverable? I would like to know what other programs were affected. I'm disappointed that I was not made aware of what "changes" means.

Tha sounds like a "cockpit error" or self inficted wound.How did you think it was going to work with that configuration?Are you using Steady State in some environment where you are also performing personal computing? That may not be using the product as it was designed.Windows Steady State has other options that would allow you to not remove all changes at restart and give you warnings when it is time to save changes, or save your personal files someplace else so they will not be erased on the next reboot. For example, you could configure your Outlook to store all it's files on some other hard disk that is not being looked after by Steady State.This informative page has a link to the Steady State manual that helps understand what "changes" mean near the bottom of the page:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=d077a52d-93e9-4b02-bd95-9d770ccdb431&displaylang=enAnd there is a Microsoft forum just for Steady State issues:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowssteadystate/threadsDo, or do not.
