Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point'

I know this is incredibly late to notice but it is true. I see no
option to (manually) create a Restore Point. *I do get "automatic"
creation of restore points usually once a day, occasionally twice,
occasionally none. *I thought that was a bit odd but it has *"worked"
for me so far. In thelast 3 months I have used Restore points 3 or 4
times to recover from odd ball system (Near Death Experience) behavior

I finally got to checking Andy Rathbone's Microsoft Windows Me For
DUMMIES, both volumes, and it is pretty clear that I should.

In the first 5 or more years I've been using this computer I rarely if
at all (deliberately) used it. Now I find it indispensable and I would
like more control over the making and deleting of my Restore Points.

Anybody heard of this problem? Is this fixable with just editing the
registry? What is it's module name / cab file ? ??

Thank you for replying Mike.
I might have that rare disease called Swiss Cheese Vision. A half hour
ago, I was looking at what Google shows about NG activity and I
(thought I) saw no mention of this topic so I opened another one.
Sorry 'bout that.

I guess the short answer to you Mike, is I see no GUI, MMI or
whatchamacallit for ordering the system to make a restore point. And I
wonder if that is by design or just due to my Swiss Cheese Vision?

Please inform my ignorance.

And Thanks Again.
