System Restore Points

Hi, I have a quick question.

Can a machine be instructed to create a restore point at every bootup?

Regards

Julie

System Restore has a mind of its own. It will only create a
Restore Point when it senses the computer is idle for a certain
period of time or when it senses an application or update is about
to be installed. One cannot selectively customize its operation.

That technique involves creating a Restore Point manually.

Ronals:
Many things can cause loss of Restore Points, when they are gone, they
are gone and can not be recovered or used.
Some of the things a
Available space on hard drive
Computer usage
Space you dedicate to System Restore

If you use Real Player, try doing without it for a few days:

I cannot find any restore points for my computer although I thought
i created a restore point as soon as i finished installing all of my
software. I checked and the restore system in not turned off. Any
Idea where they might have done or what i did wrong?
