System Restore is one of the first things I turn off when installing a
new system. (Second thing I do is making an image. |-)

Well... used wisely, could be very handy than trying to find out what
registries are modified by a certain installation.

Yes it is handy because System Restore restores orginal Registry hives that existed at the
time of the Resore Point was created. However, as I noted, it is only good for short term
period installations and removal.

I must have used/tried System Restore once or twice; it leaves unused
files/folders behind. An image doesn't do that.

This is the first time, I find out that System Restore is (also?) about
Registry hives.
It was always very unclear to me what System Restore does and what it
does not.

For a copy of the register, I run Erunt daily at the start-up of my
computer.

Restore of the register may be considered useful after a failed
install/uninstall of software.
But a restore of the register does not take care of left-overs from the
failed install/uninstall.
I tried it once, but noticed that a lot of files of a failed uninstall
were left behind as orphans on the C:\-partition.

Therefore I prefer an image for a complete and clean restore.
Because the functions of System Restore are very unclear to me
and because I found out that it does not work as complete as a restore
of a previous image, I turn it off a.s.a.p.
For me System Restore just occupies useless space.

Of course, YMMV
