System Restore - simple question
I have one simple question - it restores a point at 24 hours but it does not
go back more than one day - am I correct? If it is Saturday, there is no way to restore to say, Wednesday? Thanks. |

Incorrect. You can have many restore points and return to any of them.

System Restore - simple question
If you start System Restore
and then select 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' then click on the 'Next' button, you should see a calendar with the dates (in Bold numbers) when a restore point was created. Any of these dates are valid restore points but usually the most recent dates have the best chance of undoing issues you are having with a PC. JS "Terri" wrote in message ...

AHA - but only goes back 24 hours (and perhaps 1 in the morning of the
present day). "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... Incorrect. You can have many restore points and return to any of them. "Terri" wrote in message ...

If it is Saturday, there is no way to restore to say, Wednesday? Thanks. Still wrong. SR automatically creates restore points approx. every 24 hours (assuming the computer is on). Some applications create a restore point before they install (or in the case of "cleanup utilities" perhaps before they delete things). You can make a manual restore point at any time. The number of restore points available depends on how much disk space is allocated to SR. By default, this is 12% of your hard drive. With today's very large drives, this is much too much space and may even cause problems. You should manually configure SR to use about 1 GB.

System Restore - simple question
If you have adjusted downward the disk space available for SR points then it
might only save one. If there is not enough disk space it might also delete the previous to save the newest. You don't give any details about your computer so who knows? "Terri" wrote in message ...
