Default About System restore?

Hi

If you are confident that you can change that Registry value without causing
any problems elsewhere - then yes, go ahead and change it!!!! But, be very,
very careful as to what you are doing!!!!

Hi there, I have a Sony laptop running WXP SP2 with a 6.5 gb c
drive(system
drive) and I noticed I had quite a few restore points so I reduced the
default 12 percent of disc space to 7 percent through the settings
checkbox.
I also want to change the restore point retention interval from the
default
90 days to 30 days. I sthis a good idea? I have rarely used system restore
and have never gone farther back then a couple of days.
90 days seems to long. I change the value in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\SystemRestore
RPLifeInterval
