I'd not heard of that one before.

I wouldn't do this, this is a safety feature.

And when I check my Win8 box (Intel SSD) the System Restore is turned
off by default.
So I check back on my Win7 box (OCZ-Vertex3) and that is also off with a
weird folder
icon for a 'missing C: drive'. The settings for this missing drive are
greyed out.

When I try to restore from an earlier time I've no restore points to
access.
I am sure I did not manually turn System Restore off ???

Well, if yours was already disabled, then you're probably not going to
miss anything.

One of the other suggestions in the above guide was to disable disk
defragmentation, and I found that the SSD wasn't even listed on the
defrag schedule, so there's no way to disable it, since there's no way
to enable it either. The only things listed in the defrag schedule were
my proper hard disks.
