"RonK" wrote in message ... System Restore would be a lot better if you could save a few of the first batch. That way you could go back to an almost clean install if you wanted to without using any other software programs. Maybe it would have to save a ton of stuff to be able to do that. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Reducing the max allowable disk space also reduces the number of restore
points. Besides, any program you install after the latest restore point will probably have to be reinstalled. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." "Aki Peltola" wrote in message ... Perhaps it does, if user doesn't have sufficient IQ to decrease the maximum disk space amount given for System Restore. |

That's, uhh, the whole POINT of System Restore, is it not? If a program screws your system up, you don't want it to remain installed after a restore. -- Erik Harris AIM: KngFuJoe http://www.eharrishome.com Chinese-Indonesian MA Club http://cimac.eharrishome.com The above email address is obfuscated to try to prevent SPAM.

Sacrifices must be done if you want to save disk space, or did you think that there would be some kind of "black hole" for storing endless number of restore points? Size of a restore point also depends what kind of software modifications you do to your system after creating one. Besides, any program you install after the latest restore point will probably have to be reinstalled. My dear First of One, that's the whole purpose of System Restore. |
