odomike 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) I know everything about system restore and the way it works. Just Like AVfreak said, system restore eats a whole lot from your harddisks. Basically, on my Win XP, I generally reduce the hard drive space allocated to system restore in order to save my HardDisck space. On my Win Vista, I run Disk Cleanup from time to time and I ensure that I clean up the system restore while leaving the most recent restore point which will only be taking a few MBs. Â sorry please, I have double posted again. My Internet connection sucks n in a bid to make sure that my posting reflects in T17, i try to send it again. Please delete my 2nd post. thank you.
