Default System Restore - Attn: Mike Maltby

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to report that we successfully got System Restore working
thanks to your assistance.

My friend did not have the Show Hidden Files option checked and as a
result he could not locate the c:\_restore folder.

We finally found it, renamed it, then deleted it and created a restore
point with no problems.

Thanks again, Mike, for your help and take care.

Fred,

Thanks for the feedback and I'm pleased to read that you've solved the
problem and managed to create a manual checkpoint. May I suggest that you
or your friend perform the following quick test to verify that in fact all
is OK.

a) Create a shortcut on the desktop to a file.
b) Create a manual checkpoint
c) Delete the shortcut
d) Restore you PC to the checkpoint you created.
Was the shortcut restored? Did you see any error messages?

Cheers,
--
