    Disable or Enable Windows Vista System Restore

    System Restore is a system recovery feature of Windows that creates snapshots, or restore points, of the state of your computer at various intervals or before you perform a certain task.Whenever users install software program, drivers, updates, hotfixes and other system changing files, Windows Vista will create Restore Point by using System Restore.

    Disable and Turn Off System Restore in Windows Vista

    1. Right click on Computer then select Properties from contextual menu. Alternatively click on Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System.

    2. In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. You will see a list of hard disk drives installed on your system, with checkboxes to the left. The check boxes with tick indicate that System Restore is on for that particular volume. So to to turn off System Protection for a hard disk, clear (untick) the check box next to the disk.

    4. Once you uncheck the checkbox, a System Protection dialog box will appear. Click on Turn System Restore Off button.

    5. Click OK and System Restore is now off.
