Re: Is it smart to disable the System Restore Point?

Hi,

Here are the instructions on how to disable System Restore in Windows Vista:
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/disablesrv.html

Before doing so, may I ask why you want to do this?

Disabling System Restore will not only delete all existing restore points
and eliminate the ability to restore the system, but it will also disable
Previous Versions.

Previous Version:

If you are concerned about disk space, then the amount of disk space used to
hold restore point and previous versions can be adjusted.
