Can "System Restore Points" be locked?
I know that a system restore point is far from an everything;
nevertheless, they do seem a useful concept. However, like the ERU/ERD ones in Windows 95 (works fine in 98/Me too), I'd like to be able to keep the odd one; at present SRPs seem to be like the replacement to ERU/ERD that came with '98, i. e. they go into a FIFO buffer: since the system makes SRPs quite frequently, the oldest isn't that old. I've just installed CCleaner, which has a useful "manage your CRPs" tool (actually all it lets you do is remove them, but it's useful as a way of seeing what you've got), and I see my oldest is only just over a month old, and there are only ones made by my system and a utility there, none that I've made myself. Can it be done (marking one as "keep")? If not, can they be moved to a safe place, and moved back when needed? (What form do they take? Presumably not registry entries! Though how they're indexed I rather fear _is_ in the registry.) -- J. P. Gilliver.
