Batch file for system restore XP and Vista

[Beter 2 Burn Out]

I have created the batch file which is related to the System Restore in Windows XP and the Windows Vista. When I try to open that file it opens properly in both the Windows XP and Vista, but after opening that batch file I am not able to return to main menu until I close system restore. I can press any key only after closing the batch file. And then I can return to the main menu. Does anyone know the coding so that I can go to the main menu without closing the batch files.?? So, if possible provide me batch file for System Restore of Windows XP and Vista.!!

It would be better if you provide the coding that you are using. Because to make the whole coding for the Batch file for system restore is very tedious. So if you provide me the coding, I can tell you that were exactly you will have to make the changes, if any. Also are you using the %system% in the batch file for restoring the system?

I can give you the VBScript that need to create a system restore point by a batch file. I think that you should try this :

Set IRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
MYRP = IRP.createrestorepoint ("Restore", 0, 100)

Hope that you were looking for the same code.

Extremely Thanks Guys..!!! Really feeling good that so many are trying to help. Here is my code that I am trying to use :

runas /user:local\administrator
@echo off
title Test Utility
:prompt
color 4f
cls
echo Pick a Category
echo.
echo Type 1 to System Utilities
echo Type 2 to ""
echo Type 3 to ""
set /p answer=
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘1’ system
:system
cls
Echo Type 1 to System Restore
Echo Type 2 to ""
Echo Type 15 to Main Menu
set /p answer=
if '%answer%' == '1' goto system restore
:system restore
cls
IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe= %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe else
IF EXIST C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe = C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe
echo.
echo Pres Any Key to goto Menu
pause >nul
goto prompt

Please tell me where I went wrong or Am I missing something.??

According to me your code should be

IF EXIST c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe START c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

instead of

IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe= %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe else
IF EXIST C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe = C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe

Making these changes will definitely help you.

The code that you used to make a batch file want to abstract away the environmental variables. Because I think that using the IF EXIST here means if the program doesn't exist, the user will not be informed. So I would like to suggest you to use the following code :

IF NOT EXIST %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe echo "rstrui.exe not found!" & goto Menu start %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Hope that your problem is fixed.!!
