    Is there any way too shut off System Restore?


    I've been looking around for a way to shut off system restore to save disk space but it seems that Windows 7 wants you to have it turned on for some reason.

    This is easy to do in Vista why isn't this so with Windows 7?

    Hello Chev65,

    In addition: System Protection - Turn On or Off
