So, a couple of questions:
1) What the heck? Why is the system restore mechanism messing with source
files? Isn't it supposed to ignore changes made to document files?
Probably, I have no idea.
2) How do I prevent this from happening again?
Install and use a version control system. You should do this anyway,
even if you're not having problems with restore points. A very good and
free one is Subversion at
http://subversion.tigris.org/ (great frontend
here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/), but there are lots of
alternatives if you don't like it. Every programmer should use a version
control system!
