No System Restore Tab

[Lizzzet]

I disabled System Restore to clear out a virus.
Now I want to enable it again but ....... the System Restore tab is missing
from the System Property Window..
Any ideas what to do next?

Hi you will have to edit the registry,

Start>run and type

regedit

navigate to the following key:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore

In the right-hand pane, delete "DisableSR"

I shall go try that.

Thank you again, William
Your instructions were clear and easy to follow.
It was my first time with Regedit.
I now have a System Restore tab again.

Hi Lezzzet,

A possible cause to this problem can be either malware or virus
infection.
Here is some information on virus and malware removal.
