Hi Brian,
System Restore monitors partitions. It can not monitor only part of a
partition. What is it you are attempting to achieve?

Bert, I can only surmise that he is labouring under the misapprehension that
RPs are snapshots of his entire system and he wishes to change the save
location so that he can restore them if he needs to reinstall.
Sorry, Brian but, if that's what you're thinking, I can't quash that here
and now - RPs are snapshots of vital system files only and, if you
reinstall, would be completely useless as they pertain only to the
installation under which they were created.

Hi Miss Perspicacia,
The question is unclear and raises more questions. I think Brian
should read the following description of SR and repost his question.

Hi Brian,
No. There is a folder on each drive (System Volume Information or SVI
for short) where System Restore stores it's restore point information.
This destination can not be changed or rerouted.
The size of the SVI folder can be changed by adjusting the amount of
space uses to store restore points. Take a look at this article for
information on making the adjustments.

So Xp restore is just like ME version.
Ok, well I'll turn it off. If you can not control the animal, get rid of it.
Thanks all.

System Restore in XP is similar to the ME version but not exactly the
same.
Disabling SR is an option, but so is a larger hard drive.

In that regard, a tighter coded OS would be an option too.
Ok. Thanks all.
