Search facility gone and no programmes listed on Start

Have Windows 7. After seeing good reviews of Tweaking, and although nothing obviously wrong, I decided to have a clean up - as perhaps it could run even better. I followed every step by the book - power deplete, etc etc. Even did pre-scan and handled a few items found there.

BUT now the Search doesn't function at all and the list of programmes has disappeared from Start. Thank heavens I could get to the control panel to a System Restore. That went fine ... except despite a few turn off and restarts, now its taking ages for the laptop to close down or to start again. Have no idea now want to do - as the restore has already been done.
 I know I did a 'back up' before the cleaning started but I don't know IF or How to activate that?
 I should have left well enough alone as this clean up certainly didn't work.

Boggin:
Open Windows Repair then click on Option 5 Backup where you can use the registry restore.

Click on the Restore button under Registry then on Registry Restore in the menu bar of the next window and if the dropdown is blank then use the dropdown arrow to select the dated back up.

sandy:
Thanks. Could you just tell me where I find Windows Repair?

Boggin:
If you downloaded the program then you should have a desktop icon which you can double click on.

sandy:
Oh I see. You gave me the link after your message. I am so used to ignoring adverts, I missed it. I thought you were referring to Microsoft software that would be on my computer. I have now downloaded it and will do it.
