Stan,
Yes, I do much the same each month after I do my WinUpdates. I digested
the link Mike shared. Nice read. I'm now waiting for the internal timers
to work post yesterday's WinUpdates. Minor quibble!
At least I now accept that my 'more modern' C2D/Asus P5Q systems seem to
run just about like the link Mike shared. Fair Dinkum!
But I have yet to see my really old XP systems (2) that only get turned
on for major app updates (~every 2wks) ever create a Restore Point at
boot up. Smaller quibble! Much smaller because these 2 machines are
old; one is an Asus CUBX/P3-800, and, the other is an AMD Barton
2500+/Asus A7N8X-E-Deluxe.
BTW: FORC5 is NOT crazy! Asus A7N8X series m/b's have lousy RTC logic.
Mine is now screwing up even w/XP locked to the NIST clock in CO. LOL!
Another old soldier for the pasture! Luckily I can still force these 2
old cranky PC's to reset their clocks ATM.
I so like this RP protection. Now, I have some info to
customize/throttle it just a bit. Maybe........ :)
Best,
Duncan

I used CCleaner to check my system restores in Vista 64 and there were
25 spaced roughly 2-3 days apart except for Windows Updates. I deleted
24 of them and kept the latest..

Are there any good books to read about System Restore?
I use it. I like it. It has saved my bacon twice now.
I have noticed that my newer C2D machines like to create a new Restore
point every 24hrs, roughly. Odd.
Is this normal?
Should I be looking for something not working correctly?
(I will share that my newest/older AMD Barton 2500+ also shares this
odd behavior!)
I do use CCleaner to cull old Restore Points each month when I do
WinUpdates. I always create a new, manual Restore Point post update.
ATM, I do not seem to have any trouble with any of my clients. Well,
that I am aware of!
Just wondering?
Best,
Duncan
