As long as you *dont* have a check mark in the box 'turn off syste
restore'
start/help and support/undo changes to your computer using syste
restore/system restore settings, you should be OK to just leave it t
its own devices, the system will set a restore point at any significan
change to your system, ie the installation or removal of programmes
drivers, etc. If you want to manually set a restore point, the onl
time you should need to, is before making such a change to your system
and or if you choose for whatever reason to set system restore to off
this only needs to be done when loading certain patches etc
