Is there a 'restore point' add-on like there was in XP

[FireBrick]

I think Kelly's Korner offered a couple of Restore Point programs.
One would do automatic restore points and sit as a shortcut in the
Quicklaunch and provide one click restore points.

Unless I'm missing the obvious, it's a PITA to make manual Restore points in
Vista.

Is there something similar for Vista?

Not that I am aware of, but there may be.
My system creates a restore point automatically about every 24 hours, and
when installing any updates/programs.

Doesn't seem to be to bad to manually create a restore point, I went into
system restore, then it gave the option to create a restore point, click
here to open system protection, there you can choose the disc you want to
create a restore point for.
Certainly is a few more clicks than it was in XP.

Yes the 'one click' automatic restore points are a lots simpler than the
multiple jumps required now.
thank you Vista for making life simpler....MS style

Not in the present case, however.

Hi FireBrick,

Try this...

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_sysrestorepoint.htm

It's a single .exe that you can either leave on your desktop or create
shortcuts to. When you click the launch icon/shortcut a window opens
informing you that a new restore point has been successfully created with an
auto-generated-date-related name and then the window auto closes after 4
seconds.

I use it on my Vista 32bit Premium rig and it's highly recommended.

Hope this helps

It stores the restore point in exactly the same way as if you had created it
manually. Don't know exactly where this is though other than somewhere on
the C: drive.

Thank you, that's EXACTLY what I was looking for.
