    System Restore Question


    Hello,

    As I mentioned in a previous Post, I had to use System Restore to "normalize" everything again, after downloading AVG Free.

    Surprising how well it worked.

    Question: I looked on the screens for System Restore, but can't seem to locate it.

    Is there an option, somewhere, to set how often it automatically creates
    these points ?

    If so, where, please ?

    What's a good rule of thumb as to how often ?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Once a week is default and a good rule

    Task Scheduler - Create New Task


    You do not need to create a new task in Task Scheduler, but merely change the SR task already set for once a week.

    Bugsy you have a great answer. It will help those with questions about SR that will not be covered by the answer that I gave.
    That is how the forum works, to teach everyone, not just the OP.

    From OP:


    Hi,

    Much thanks.

    Never thought to look in Task Scheduler.

    Expected it to be with the regular SR screens.

    Thanks,
    Bob
