Possibly because it's hidden? See below:
How do I reinstall System Restore?

Warning: This will delete ALL existing restore points.

Go to Start - Run and type %Windir%\INF then press enter.

In Windows Explorer go to Tools - Folder Options - View Tab and uncheck
"Hide extensions for known file types".

Find the sr.inf file, right click on it and select Install.

Or simply type or paste the following command into the Start - Run box and
press enter.

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf

If the Files Needed dialog box appears, click Browse and point to the i386
folder on the Windows XP CD or to the i386 folder on the hard drive, if it
exists, of for systems updated with the Service Pack 2 CD or Download from
Microsoft, browse to the C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder.

Have you seen Bert Kinney's System Restore page on Restoration Fails?

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements? They could be
stopping System Restore working as intended.

When searching make sure to use the more advanced options placing checks in
"Search system folders", "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search
subfolders." You should be able to find this file in the Windows INF
folder.

Good Luck
