In fact, I doubt any programs are really designed to handle these situations because it can easily lead to race conditions.

Restoring system files will probably "fix" things, but not remove junk.  If you want all traces gone, and don't know how to manually do stuff, wipe the system and reinstall everything.

Unless you're referring to the "reinstall" option, which is different.

If I reinstall Sevenmizer then uninstall again, would that take the Sevenmizer folder in C://WINDOWS. I contacted the author and he said I should have uninstalled it instead of doing restore point. So, what do you think?

Installing it again, then uninstalling it completely might do it. Issue being the installer may make backups of the new files that were left over the previous Sevenmizer install but you're running out of options now. If all else fails and you really want to revert you may want to consider your options for a repair/re-install of XP. Just make sure your data is safe in case things go wrong.

Ok. I'll try to install it again later when the author replies. Ohh, and will disk cleanup help in deleting those files? Anyway, this is the Sevenmizer description in the place where I downloaded it (this might help, so I'll give it a go):

The SevenMizer application was designed to help you transform your Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003 into the look of Windows 7. Therefore nearly 400 files with new Icons, pictures as well as videos are modified. This means that SevenMizer does not provide own files and change your system files.

That has the advantage that SevenMizer works with each language and no changes of the language specifics are made. The installer is so developed that you have completely the change which will be modified and which not. Even if you select files, which are possibly not at all on your system available or not compatible, the application recognizes this and jumps over these.

This ensures that the system does not become unstable because of wrong modification. After updates if your system data are overwritten, then a renewal of these is possible by using an extra program that is linked by the SevenMizer. The application examines thereby, which files are updated and re-modify only these.

This means a very fast re-modification and it is always the current data in the Backup. However if the result of the installation should not assure to you, you have the possibility to get back the old system by an un-installation. If newer files are already present in the system by updates, this is recognized by the un-installer and only the modified files will be replaced.

Here are some key features of SevenMizer:
· 7-Look for Windows XP, MCE or Server 2003
· Modification of the own system files
· multilingual
· completely free choice for the modification files
· check the files for compatibility during the installation
· backup from the original system files
· re-modification of the system files after Windows Updates
· rebuilding of the original system files through un-installation
