    The following script can be used to clear the System Restore points quickly. It automatically disables System Restore, clears all the Restore points and re-enables System Restore on all drives.

    Copy the following script to a notepad and save as "ResetSR.VBS".

    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default")
    Set objItem = objWMIService.Get("SystemRestore")
    errResults = objItem.Disable("")
    errResults = objItem.Enable("")


    The above is an equivalent of selecting Turn Off System Restore on all drives (which clears all the Restore points) and the last line in the script re-enables the System Restore points.

    Click Start---Click All Programs---Click Accessories---Click System Tools---Click System Restore.

    Check mark - Turn off System Restore on all Drives and Click Apply.

    When you are warned that all existing Restore Points will be deleted, click Yes to continue.
    All system restore points are deleted.

    Now you should manually create a restore point.
    1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore.
    2. Click Create a Restore Point, and then click Next.
    3. Name your restore point. ( I use the date as well as a descriptive term such as "After Restore Point Deletion.")
