I didn’t create my recovery disk until I had the computer for almost a year. By then, I had added a number of programs. Everything I read about recovery disks indicates that your computer will be restored to the original settings. That assumes, however, that the recovery disk was created upon first obtaining the computer.

Will my disks recover the computer to the original factory settings, or will they also contain all of the programs that were on the computer when I created the disks?

Thank you for your responses!
