Gotta Love that system restore. It has saved my Bacon on SEVERAL times.

However I have a short statement and then a question,

I am what my wife calls a bit of a neat freak as far as my computer
goes, in that I don't like wasted space even though I have ample room
left. I Often use the Built in windows disk cleanup utility, and in turn
use the "more options" part that handles 'system restore'.

My understanding is that by using this, it will delete all but the last
restore point. Ok.. That's fine.

I was just wondering if there was anyway or any place, I could define
for it to delete all but the oh ..say last "THREE" restore points?

I know it runs naturally usually once a day. But I do a lot of
installing and uninstalling of software. And after all is said and done,
and I do my disk cleanup, it would be nice to know that my last 3
restore points are still there.

I'm running winXP Home, 512 megs of Ram, and an 80gigHD on my laptop.

Thanks for any comments in advance.

I have noticed I have no history of back up points being established & had installed a second hard drive & partitioned my hard drives. I wasn't aware the disc cleanup eliminated the restore points. I too am installing new programs & using the disk clean up regularly.

I too would like a way to keep my restore points kept. I would like to keep mine for 30 days. Hopefully someone will know how to accomplish this.

Thanks, Clint
 
Go to System Properties /System Restore tab . Move increase / decrease
slider to fit your total saved plans. Experimenting will have to be done to
figure out how much MB equals how many days. Jym
