Thank You obi wan kenobi ! BTW actually thinking of retiring mine, still runs 24/7 with a 3200 barton and at least 4 I can remember in the field still cooking. I do not let the clock bother me like it used to, getting older has advantages ( some anyway) <:-| fp At 03:12 PM 5/24/2010, DSinc Poke

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 li

I haven't seen this type of behavior on my systems (WinXP/SP2), but the TechRepublic article I'm linking to says that it is standard behavior for System Restore to save every 24 hours. Who knew? The article also provides registry tweaks to set your own frequency and get around the 24 hour cyc

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 wil

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! Best, Duncan
