222274 2004-03-13 09:09:00 Start/Programs/accessories. Tools & Maintainance has disappeared, due to too many geeks (grandchildren) messing with my machine (running ME). I can find elsewhere de-frag and scan disc. But due to the afore mentioned geeks I rely heavily upon System Restore. Can anyone help; other than ridding me of the geeks. Fiasco (5397)
222275 2004-03-13 10:26:00 Go to The drive where the windows folder is. Enter the "System32" folder and then locate the folder called "Restore" and enter it. You should see a file called "rstrui". Right click it and then click "Send To" >> "Desktop (create shortcut)" to add a shortcut to your desktop.

This should work as long as you don't press delete instead.

222278 2004-03-14 08:27:00 My thanks for all your replies - and so fast. I'll try each; the 'read only' sounds a good idea. Thanks again Fiasco (5397)
