Windows 7 - Do you have enabled System Protection?

Do you have enabled System Protection in Windows 7?

A little tip, where you will find that:

yes i checked and it is on but why would you not want it on?

Sure, I'm the mad downloader so I create a restore point before installing play around with the software.

If I don't want it I use System restore The typical Uninstaller leaves leftover files and registry entries.

Restore points can save more headaches than you can imagine

No,,i can usually fix whatever goes wrong,,if not just do re install,,its a learning experience..lol

No,
in the first time only c:
now all off
don't ask why?
I just liked it that way (more thinking: install or not?)

Never liked System Restore and the first thing I do is turn it off.

I use various imaging programs, but for Windows 7 I use it's built in Backup and Restore for the initial image. I am also using ShadowProtect to make full image backups.

Mines on and I also create system restore points before I install new software. If I don't like it or don't want to keep it I just use cCleaner to remove it and then system restore.

OFF, its thrashes HDD's and that's a PIA even on quieter newer VRaptors (Raid 0), possibly not so much a big deal on SSD's.

I have a Auto Backup of all my Media etc to an external HDD if it all went wrong but as this install is 1 year old I would clean install.

System Restore is for when you mess up your PC not for uninstalling a normal bit of software you don't like, thats extreme.

I seriously doubt it removes all traces as neither did XP's or the failure in ME.

Better using a 3rd party uninstall program and then running Cleaner.

I leave System Restore on for customers PC's as they are n00bs and will someday need it, but its not there to uninstall a game when there done IMO.

Yes I have the Protection on why wouldn't I, at my age why would I want to live dangerously I'm all for the quiet life now
