I have never made system backups and I am not about to start now, what I was wondering is how do you turn off system restore? thankyou	Guest (0)

Hope that helps	Guest (0)

I would leave the restore running myself but cut down the size of the restore folder to overcome the problem	Guest (0)

Return to the same place and remove the check from the box and your 'System Restore' will be restored and will work until you need to do it again. I am assuming you still want to use it. P.S. It has saved me a couple of times. Cheers Colin	Guest (0)
