To do a Sytem Restore, you need Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Restore and follow the instruction.
If the dates are greyed out, it means the System Restore feature had been turned off. To check it, My computer (right click) | properties | System Restore. If the checkbox is checked, the System Restore had been turned off. Your best remedy then is to boot with "Last known good configuration" .

If the above does not work, you have three options:
1). Registry editing (regedit) and undo what your client did.
2). Reinstall Windows on top of the current one.
3). Install Windows from scratch.
