    Press the Windows key (the key with the Windows 'flag' on it), then the R key. In the Run Open box type:

    %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

    and press return.

    Now navigate through System Restore using the keyboard: press Tab (or Shift+Tab) to move the focus indicator; arrow keys to change selection; and Return to 'click' the current focus.
