Create System Restore points in Windows 7 and Vista with two clicks



One thing most of us forget to do before installing a program or fiddling with settings and drivers, is creating a System Restore point. System Restore has been part of Windows for ages now, but people still have trouble remembering to make restore points.

To make it easier there is dead-simple restore point creator. Those of you who don't want to bother with the DIY route can download Quick Restore Maker from The Windows Club. Download the app, double click the icon, and you've got yourself a fresh restore point!

The manual method is not that complicated. All it takes is creating a new text file, changing the extension to .vbs and pasting the following code in via notepad (or your favorite text editor):

    'use WMI moniker and SystemRestore class
    set SRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
    CSRP = SRP.createrestorepoint ("My New Restore Point", 0, 100)

It's that simple, now theres no excuses for not playing it safe.

Enjoy...

You can also do this (for windows 7 only [I'm not sure about vista])
1. Open the Control Panel (All Items View).
A) Click on the System icon.

A) Right click on the Computer button and click on Properties.
3. Click on the System Protection link.

4. Close the System window.

5. Check to make sure that you have System Protection turned on for the listed available disk, that you want to create a restore point for, to include it in the restore point.

6. Click on the Create button.

7. Type in a description for the restore point to help recognize it when doing a System Restore, and click on the Create button..

8. You will now see some sort of loading thingy Wink

THEN YOUR DONE!
well not until the loading thingy finishes of course
