Re: [H] XP System Restore?
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 On 05/24/2010 16:20, Scoobydo wrote: 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.

Re: [H] XP-System Restore
Sorry for the slow reply, I've been installing a new mobo and
undervolting my new Athon II checking for stability. In a word: Amazing!
Can't help you with the individual restore points as CCleaner is the
best app I know of and doesn't have that functionality. I'd just get rid
of all but the 3 most recent and let it go.

Stan,
OK. Have now seen CCleaner's display of Restore Points. Nice. This
gets use in the future for sure.
But, CCleaner lists by Date and shows no additional info.
I need to focus on one particular Restore Point identified only by its
30/34 digit MS identifier (a value between the {}).
Thank you,
Duncan

Does XP allow me to go and view the collected Restore Points?
If so, can I delete "old" ones I never wish to go back to?
If not; I do know how to completely wash/delete ALL points and start
over.
Seems a bit caustic ATM.
Yes, I am an XP noob!
