You must use a command line to adjust the maximum space allocated for System
Restore. See the following website for complete instructions.

Thank's ronnie, i went to the site
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspacev.html very helpful, i used the command
vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=c: /on=c: /Maxsize=400mb I think it
worked, I don't now if this is the right command, but when i pressed the
enter key it reported it was succesful.
Thanks Again

You can double check to make sure the command worked.

Open the command prompt the same way again and type in:

vssadmin list shadowstorage

Press Enter.

Look for the "Maximum shadow copy storage space" value. It should read
400MB.

This is what it shows
USED SHADOW COPY STORAGE SPACE 0 B
ALLOCATED SHADOW COPY STORAGE SPACE 0 B
MAXIMUM SHADOW COPY STORAGE 400 MB
I think the first 2 is because av'e stopped system restore?

Thanks Again, Ronnie
