Restore Points??????

Question

I've just re-installed Vista Home Premium on my PC but have never noticed the vast storage space that Windows restore points holds. 3 days aftter re-installation i alrady have 50GB dedicated to restore points, i understand that the restore points create themselves after updates, new system settings,installations/un-installations etc. but is there anyway to delete some of these points to free up disc space without compromising my system restore? ( I have deleted restore points via. TuneUp Utilities 2008 before and system restore doesn't want to know!)

I have large hard drive space but i dont want it to be cluttered up by obsolete setting files/system restore points etc.

Thanks for any sensible answers

Answer 1

You make a new folder icon and restore it there.

Answer 2

Vista is rubbish dealing with problems like these tbh,

i stick with xp on most of my computers now.

Also you still do your usual refferals to get FREE items such as a Nintendo Wii, PS3 and IPOD!

Hi, Stu.

Restore points can be turned off in System Protection... click start, right click computer, then select system protection on the left hand side. simply untick all the boxes for hard drives, and its job done :-)
