Vista - System Restore Point - Shortcut

Hello Charlie,

Yep, it is the same as hitting the Create restore point button in the long way round System Protection window for the selected drives.

I'll look into creating a success prompt.

Thanks Brink. Keep up the good work!

You're welcome Charlie.

Hello Brink....

I just wanted to say thank you for the "Instant Restore Point" I added it to the start menu, startup file to resolve the old issue I had with no automatic restore points being created.

Thanks Shawn, you are appreciated!

You're welcome Ted.

Thanks for the helpful shortcut it works great, I do have one issue that may easily be solved. I wanted to move the icon from the desktop and place it in my custom start menu along with other system related shortcuts I moved there. It works at that point but when I remove the Icon from the desktop, then try to run the restore by clicking on the icon in the start menu, I get
"the item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"
When I put the Icon back on the desktop it works from either location. It seems to require the desktop Icon in order to work. Its not a huge issue but rather a curiosity as to why. Either way thanks so much because it does work great!

Hello Dawgar, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It sounds like you may be creating a shortcut from the shortcut instead of copying or moving the shortcut to the hidden C:\Users\(User-Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder to be placed in the Start Menu.

If you create a shortcut from a shortcut and delete or move the original shortcut, then the other one will no longer work since it's target (original shorcut) is no longer there.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

wow...hindsight is most definately 20/20. Thats exactly what I was doing but for some reason I had a mental block. Thanks so much for your help it works great.

You're most welcome Dawger.
