Hi Billy,

The System Restore snapshots are stored in the "System Volume Information"
folder. The System Volume Information folder is a hidden system folder that
the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points.
There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your
computer.

I'm asking my question here because it won't let me post a question, only
reply. I downloaded a gaming site on my computer and ever since computer has
been real slow, so I uninstalled it. And now the system restore won't go back
any further than the 2 weeks ago when I installed this on my computer. Any
suggestions?

Hi Billy,

First of all, stop using the clumsy web interface and use Outlook
Express to read and post questions.

The amount of restore points available depends on how much disk space
and the size of each restore point. Another is the amount of days
System Restore is set to maintains the restore points.
Use the XPSystemRestoreLife.vbs script to show the amount of days.
