Hi

Yes, restore points are created automatically. To use them, go to:

Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore

Ok, I did go there and it shows me two of my drives and I click on them
and nothing happens. I DO NOT have checked where it says, don't save
system restore points. Any ideas? Is there a step I am missing?
 
Hi

If you go where I indicated and click on 'OK' you should see a calendar with
various checkpoints.

But this says you can create your own Restore Points ie if you are making a
big change to your system you could presumably create a System Restore point
just beforehand.

See the text on the page to which Will refers you to.

Hi David,

By default System Restore creates an automatic restore point every 24
hours. Automatic restore points are only created during idle time; for
example, when there is no mouse, keyboard, or disk i/o activity.

Open System Restore and look at the calendar for bold dates. Each bold
date indicates that there's at least one restore point for that day.

The following page will step you through the process.
