Vista - Friends don't F*@# with your S*#@!

Totally Unrelated Topic

I apologize for this, but everyone here seems cool, a disturbing trend
arrose this weekend at my weekend "Hobby Job" at The Geek SquadT, I had 2
Vista computers come in with simple problems that a System Restore would
TOTALLY fix in about 2 minutes, but shock and horror, System Restore on BOTH
of these computers was disabled!

While the customers claimed they didn't disable the setting, I asked them if
they had friends that used their systems, they said "Yes". I sold them $29
for a half hour labor and proceded to show them how to enable a Guest
account and spent the other 20 minutes explaining the importance of a
PASSWORD!

Friends don't change other friends computers without their knowledge people!
Keep your "know it all" mits to yourself unless the owner says it's OK.
(Heard rumor this could be a Virus that does this, but scans I did came up
negative on one of them, so who knows)

One of these systems was hosed and required a restore, OS service ($129),
Backup ($99). I know you and me think that System Restore's 250Megs could be
better filled with Porn, but most people aren't gonna miss that 250megs out
of 250Gig HD space, and believe it or not System Restore works. One of the
few things that does in Windows I think. With all these Pre-SP1 updates
coming down the pipe you should really keep System Restore going and fire it
off once in a while.

Don't know how? Click Start Menu > Type in "System Restore"

Just had to get that off my chest.
