Using the Smart Restore Program
Some systems have access to a Smart Restore program. Smart Restore lets
you select which applications you wish to (re-)install or remove. When
you select to install applications, Smart Restore does not destroy data on
your hard drive, other than replacing old copies of the application. When
you remove an application, Smart Restore removes all the files of the
selected application. Smart Restore also allows you to (re-)install
hardware settings.
