MS KB Q279736 - "How to Start the System Restore Tool
From a Command Prompt"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];279736
From a command prompt such as Start | Run, enter the following:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Restore\rstrui.exe /makefirstrestorepoint
Does this kick start System Restore?

"Fortunately System Restore can often be run from a command prompt when
you
cannot start Win Me or even boot into Safe Mode.. What is involved is
booting to DOS using a floppy and editing C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI such
that the
line shell=explorer.exe reads instead shell=progman.exe. After removing
the
floppy see if you can boot the PC so that Program Manager is launched
after
which you may be able to run System Restore. For full details see MS KB
