    System Restore Disc Usage

    I can't seem to find a place to change the amount of disc space System
    Restore uses.
    In Control Panel's System icon I only get an option to create a restore
    point
    when I click System Restore.
    Am I missing something??

    Hi,

    You're not missing anything, the option doesn't exist. There is, however, a
    method to do this here:
