AliceZ - The default System Restore creation is the same on Vista as XP. If
no action is performed that would automatically create a restore point,
Vista creates a "System Checkpoint" restore point after 24 hours - note it
is 24 hours of "computer on" time - not calendar 24 hours.
Default in XP was not ten minutes - if your XP created a restore point
(redundant?) every ten minutes it was based on a set schedule.
