Restore is not reliable program. If you're using as a
back-up you should consider something else.


You can turn it off from Control Panel > System > and
then> re-boot and it will purge it's file. Then re-boot,
turn> it back on.

And try this if the above does not work.

1. Put the in the Windows XP CD
2. Click Start , Run
3. Type the following then OK

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf


You can also open Windows Explorer, go to
C:\Windows\Inf folder and right-click sr.inf (Then
Install)

System Restore is not a cure for all problems, and is certainly
not a substitute for a backup. But it is a very useful feature,
one that has gotten me and many others out of trouble many times.

To even suggest that it *could* be used as a backup program shows
that you have no idea of what it does.

That would be a foolish thing to do.
