System Restore

I want to restore the computer to undo some recent changes.
I have just gone into the control panel and it's in classic view with no column on the left to switch to category view where I know how to get to the system restore option.
What do I need to do?

At the command prompt, type c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER. Or just navigate to that location.0
