A question, what's the difference between using "last known good
configuration" and System Restore? I used the former recently after some
problems, it's now working perfectly and I lost nothing.

IIRC, the "Last Known Good Configuration feature" doesn't restore the
entire registry. Is's just the hive HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet.
